Thanks for sharing your insights on this issue!

Also, you'll be less likely to see the inconsistencies exhibited in development, meaning it's likely that Peter's "weird stuff" will happen in Production.  So as a general rule, I'd avoid this paradigm 

Agreed. I don't like it either. That's why I brought it up )

Good point.

Ugly or fragile? That is the question.

Looks kinda the same as our discussed approach, only you have to clean a single variable. To make sure that variables are "clean" I can devote a special init() method for that, and call it each time inside my business methods.
