Yes, and if the people it "sounds good" to are the likes of Andrew Frisardi and other distinguished Erato company, it's hard to dismiss their impressions as irrelevant. One must at least ask why educated, native speakers who are extremely verbal, gifted writers, and lovers of proper language, have the impression they have, because those are the very people whose ears will govern the creation of future rules and conventions.
Well, you can ask "why", but the truth is that extremely distinguished, exceptionally learned and intelligent writers make mistakes from time to time just like everyone else does. That's one of the reasons there are copy editors at publishing companies.
