Are Double Axes REALLY That Stupid? (Reply to Shadiversity)

The double edged / headed / bitted axe, or Labyrs, or whatever you want to call it, is one of the most iconic weapons in RPGs and other video games, movies, and other fictional art. Dwarves, minotaurs, barbarians, and other mighty warriors are fond of its heft and intimidating looks. Does it make sense though? Many history enthusiasts have a certain disdain for the idea of a symmetrical twin blade as opposed to a more versatile addition like a spike or hammer. After it has been trashed so much, how about we see if there is anything redeemable about the idea of a twin bladed battle-axe? Is it completely pointless or could there be some practical merit to it in certain situations?
