I mean, my vibe on that one is simply 'there's only so many elements so they were gonna double up EVENTUALLY'.

If I'm really gonna nerd out there's a few extra arguments to bring in (namely 'we don't even know the list we've got is accurate, the Calamity of Wind is just an educated guess'), but that's kinda the big one to hit for me: with a plan that would eventually call for thirteen Calamities, and a setting that only has six elements, you're eventually gonna need to double dip.
