I think it's safe to say that the "necessary inconvenience" (LOL on the scary quotes btw) bit is a self-assumed inconvenience at best. The all-powerful by definition has no necessary inconveniences, lest he not be all powerful...yada yada yada ad nauseum. Really though, he could have simply imbued us with an innate, supernatural sense of balance entirely separate from the ear (and who says we really need those anyway...he could have changed the nature of sound itself!). This would not have been out of his scope of power. Trying to pick apart the design or lack thereof is akin to this: . Granted, those who advocate design, often insist on such arguments, (since they usually won't address the fundamental theological/philosophical/ethical difficulties), but they really are beside the point in light of the omnipotence argument, reworked definitions of this concept aside.
