I'd say the builder is more right then wrong. I could quibble about the rear dropouts and such but the bottom line is axle placement being consistent (and of course the braking load paths on stays not intended to handle them) and how the disk can be slid out of the caliper.
Some of the disk wanting mania reminds me of the hot rod era. Put a big engine is a family car and all kinds of other issues become real important real fast. Andy
