This isn’t about the tangible flag as an item but as a symbol of what the flag represents. Removing the flag is the first step in a series of patterns of erasure. If you accept this, then you might accept the next small step, then the next one, then the next one, and so on.

Redundancy is almost always a good thing. If something goes wrong with one form, they have the backup while they fix it.
