<p>Which section is wrong and why? I’m just curious to see what you guys all put…I’ll reply with the “answer” after I see what you guys say (to see if I’m just crazy).</p>
<p><as> is fine. You could always put <for being="">, perhaps, just like you can spin around most of the sentence in different ways. But if you put <for being="">, which is also fine, you still have a problem with <inconsistent to="">. <as> is not an error just because it can be stated in different ways.</as></inconsistent></for></for></as></p>
<p>Like zoogies said, it's one of those 'idiomatic' things. The word "to" does not go after "inconsistent", so even if you changed "as", the sentence still wouldn't make sense.</p>
