Myhill's Property and Interval Names
The characteristic of having two versions of each simple interval is known in diatonic set theory as Myhill's property, and it is the source of many other musically-significant characteristics.
It seems to me that this property is more-easily exposed and explained if the two versions of each simple interval are named consistently, e.g., major and minor, rather than calling some perfect, some augmented, and some diminished.
