'Pointless logic' to you is internal consistency to me. I'd rather not have my sense of immersion destroyed when I died from a pit with no bottom, which happens to be above a shrine room. Not to mention that it's a kind of a cheap trick, it's fine if you can't see the bottom because the screen only ...
