No, there is nothing incongruous here. You add the static route for the
default route which tells the router that "if you don't know where the
destination is, just shove it out over here". Lammle has to use the two
static route commands because router B is in the middle of two networks. So
when router B doesn't know of the destination it has to shove the packet out
two sides so that each of the other networks can take a look at it and
decide what to do with it.
It is this kind of confusion that leads to the use of synamic protocols
rather than static routes.
