It seems you have missed the author's point: the ZMI should be robust
enough to deal with this sort of thing, otherwise it is not very
useful as a Management Interface.

Also, one doesn't always have full control over all the objects in a
folder: for example, what if you import an object that then breaks the
ZMI?

Definitely not.
