From: "John Beamish" 

You might also have quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson:  a foolish consistency is
the hobgobblin of little minds!  (Not that I would necessarily agree with
you in this case.)

Along with Solitare there is, btw, no File/Edit/View in Hearts.  OTOH ...
Spider has (as do Hearts and Solitaire) a "Game" menu option and
in Spider one of the Game menu items is "Save this game..." so a
counter-argument could be made that while Spider doesn't have
"File", the "Save..." option appears under a menu item
that should have been named "File".  "File", almost
invariably, has always had "new" and "Exit" (you'll
find both those under "Game").  Spider also has "undo"
(under "Game") while Word has "undo" under
"Edit".

IOW, I think this is one of those cases where the consistency isn't foolish
and, in the broader context, software is the better for it.
