I wasn't inconsistent here.  It's true still that I had never heard of
inexistent, and therefore assumed it was wrong.  As the replies showed,
I was wrong.  However, it's still the unusual spelling, and the most
common spelling should clearly be prefered.

I'm not sure what you're objecting to at this point.  Maybe nothing.
