Agreed - I think the wording of what can be changed by amendment is left pretty vague because the framers knew that anything too "crazy" (i.e. a wholesale restructuring of the entire framework of government) wouldn't make it through all the required "wickets" to pass (2/3 majority in both the House and Senate, followed by a ratification by 3/4 of the states, or a Constitutional Convention called for by 2/3 of the State legislatures.)
