Sorry. It was meant as humor, to lighten things up. Clearly failed at that. It wasn't intended to be taken literally. But the point behind it (there was one) was just that naming is hard. It's not easy to find a reasonable and consistent way to name things, including functions. (I think we agree about that, at least.) Again, sorry for any misunderstanding I caused.
