It's not pedantic, it's wrong. ;-)

tron@colwyn:~>ldd /bin/ls
/bin/ls:
        -lc.12 => /lib/libc.so.12
        -lutil.7 => /lib/libutil.so.7
tron@colwyn:~>ldd /usr/bin/vi
/usr/bin/vi:
        -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12
        -lcurses.6 => /usr/lib/libcurses.so.6

As you can see normal binaries (outside of "/bin" and "/sbin")
are not linked to look for libraries in "/lib". That is why
you need the symbolic link for "lib" in "/usr/lib".

        Kind regards
