As Philippe himself has pointed out, there's the trade-off between
convey information and a long-a$$ name, for example. So we
_can_ use that as argument, in the opposite part of the spectrum.
I for one think that expecting names to tell us everything, or
even a lot, is naive, a losing battle.  And, yes, naming _is_ hard
it's one of the 2 hard ones along with cache invalidation and
off-by-one.
