Maybe more like this: „If it works as intended, an unconventional approach is justified.“
The purpose of a system is what it does?
Not at all. "The purpose of a system is what is does" is a phrase that makes it clear that in a system where a lot of people work in, "purpose" is a useless concept and should never be used to tell if it's a good or a bad system.
It's an entirely political view of a system, and has no relation to the implementation being stupid or not.
