Insofar as naming things is basically applied category theory, I'd trust a mathematician to name a set of products more tersely and understandably than I would an English major.

A math major named this monitor:

https://www.viewsonic.com/eu/products/sheet/VX2758-2KP-MHD

…I don't understand? VX2758-2KP-MHD is a fairly commonly used word in the Polish language.

It is even my surname!

It's unique and easily searchable when I want documentation specific to that product. And when deciding which monitor to buy, I can focus on comparing the technical specifications rather than relying on some heuristics based on how the name "feels" to me.

I would rather name it the 2020-27in-QHD-IPS-144Hz

I'm running a contest in my head: "which academic discipline can transfer more information with less text"

so far it's a close race between philosophers and mathematicians. I'll take your comment as a vote in favor of mathematicians

I don't think philosophers should even be in the running for this title. They write way too many words when few do trick.

but talking is part of the contest (I should not have said it was about "text"; nonetheless academia still maintains an oral tradition in teaching and thesis defenses)

so while written philosophy is verbose, philosophers talking can "transfer" a lot of "meaning" with short sentence

whereas mathematicians will likely need to talk for a very long time for what they can write down in a short terse equation

Who do the few words trick? Why do the philosophers wait for that before writing their many words?

Classical musicians. Lots of information with very few symbols nevermind text.

How many mathematicians do you know? All the mathematicians I know are interested in both notational and linguistic clarity.

lucky you, all the mathematics proessors I've had scarcely know how to work a computer

another cultural difference is the kind of homework they hand out; the difference boils down to whether you hand over a printed (or printable) proof checked by reading through it, or a runnable program or script checked by running it

What does this have to do with naming things

> naming things is hard

Of tangential interest: I recently heard that Faraday, while discovering new electromagnetic phenomenon, then turned to either a linguist or classicist for help in assigning/inventing terms for them. (I cannot find a link for this just now, so consider this heresay.)
