It seems to be appealing to hold people's inconsistencies against them.
Why do you suppose that is?
...could it be that we tend to defend our view of ourselves via our own consistency? And, when that is threatened, we look for 'more inconsistency' in others? ...either way, it doesn't seems like such things are really about 'consistency'. It seems more like we're desperately trying to justify, defend, or protect something about ourselves.
