You know, I don't think creating an entirely new line was necessary. They could have just extended the N line to Bayshore/Sunnydale. And the K and T lines being interlined is lame. How confusing would it be to ride the K and all of a sudden it's a T. LAME. Just make it the K Ingleside-Third St.
The problem with extending the N is that the N is the most-used line, so you'd need more N cars to keep the same level of service along the entire route to Ocean Beach. As it is now, the N cars return after the Caltrain stop rather than going all the way to Sunnydale.
As for making the T just be K, the problem with that is that the meaning of "inbound" gets weird after Embarcadero. Your scheme would mean that you would take an "inbound" K to Sunnydale even though you are getting farther away from downtown.
If you look at the T stations, they never say "inbound" or "outbound." Instead they say "To Downtown." I suppose Muni thought it would be more confusing to ride an "inbound" train and end up farther from downtown.

Haha. Although public transit can be better, but it's likely it isn't. I say that if it doesn't have rails, it's unreliable. coughcoughthebuscough
