I fail to see your point. Are you arguing that uninitialized variables are
good, add value, illustrate the ideas behind Ada's design?

They are tolerated. It was said on many occasions before, that a better Ada
should have required all variables initialized by default. Leaving a
variable or member component uninitialized should better have had a special
syntax, There are other cases in Ada when the default is unsafe. Should we
multiply these cases?
