Of course: you can make a half-dysfunctional feature fully dysfunctional, or fully functional. The latter course of action is doubtlessly preferable.
But most of all: these options are not mutually exclusive. Even Jon, the greatest Adobe lover the universe has ever seen, admitted he wouldn't mind if Marvin gave its users several page-count options to choose from. So, what's the big deal? All the current turmoil stems from the fact that one particular "pages in book"-count option is currently being enforced for all Marvin users – and, it also happens to be internally inconsistent and causing conflict with how Marvin has, for years, treated page-counts since version 1.
Give us both (or 3, 4, 5...) page-count options to choose from for both "pages in chapter" and "pages in book", and everyone will be happy.
