I believe there is disagreement about what the problem is. You define the problem as "insert values in the past in a manner that is indistinguishable from having inserted them at the correct moment in the first place". Your analysis is correct for that problem.
In real life, the problem tends to be a different one, which is "insert values in the past in a manner that improves on the current form of the data, i.e., that makes the resulting RRD more useful than without these insertions." Put differently, I prefer some inaccuracy in the data over having data gaps or garbage data in my RRD. What many of us have built are tools that get at the second problem. It would be great if the RRD maintainers could accept some of these tools in the spirit of "sometimes the perfect is the enemy of the good".
