Evolution is a lot like engineering: just-good-enough-to-work is the ideal solution. Why worry about creating systems to actually deal with all the types of poisons it could be when you can just have a universal eject function and then eat some food to replenish whatever nutrients you also ejected along with the poison...if it was even poison. Oh well, at least you didn't die to poison, so that's a plus.
