This is exactly right. Stay consistent with the existing way or commit to changing it all (not necessary all at once) so it's consistent again, but better.

Nobody is pushing back about "commit to changing all".

Nobody is denying that "inconsistent" can be bad on its own.

But you can't say that "inconsistent but good" is bad by providing an example of how "inconsistent and bad" is bad.
