I dearly hope this is sarcasm. This is about the same level of absurdity as developers taking ages to pick project/file names. I'm not railing against a review's abilities to find bugs and make sure someone else understands. GP is right in pointing out how many fruitless review discussions exist over personal differences in what to call a function name because "I think X sounds better than Y", despite every party involved understanding the code and what it does.

If only linters could solve these trivialities.
