There's also a reason why a lot of people find equations incredibly hard to parse.

This is a nice semi-random deeply nested spot to observe how the topic of naming is so cognitively attractive.

Even in the meta-sense it is being discussed here.

There is something about naming that we like thinking about, and fine tune our thoughts on, more than a simple need for legibility.

There is a sense of ownership in picking a name.
