This doesn’t happen in reality. Your program does so many things that practically speaking short names work for a lot of functions in the program. It’s like English. There are big words and there are small words and usually to communicate a combination of big and small words are used.
Nobody practically communicates with big words. A long function name only pops up when needed.
It happened in the article we’re discussing, and seems to be something Robert advocates for.
Happened in a contrived example.
Contrived perhaps, but it was an example that was supposed to demonstrate the benefits to those long names. In my opinion, it did the opposite.
