Am I out of touch?

No, it's the forward-thinking generation of software engineers that want elegant, reliable, declarative systems that are wrong.

It seems to me that almost all native English speakers got principal and principle backwards. I'm actually surprised when I see them used correctly (which is not the case here).

Doh! Ps. Thanks for the correction.

As a child in the US I was taught "The Principal is you 'pal'." which is not true but helpful when spelling it. Like "dessert" has more 's' than "desert" because it's something you want more of.
