Well duh, obviously. They're not going to concatenate entire paragraphs of documentation into the method name. Like so many things it's a matter of degrees. If the method was called table.multiSel() then you'll be more likely to need to consult the docs. It's not optimistic in my experience. Much of the time when doing code review or bug hunting other people's code, it's less about knowing exactly what a particular method does, as much as being able to rapidly estimate your way to relevant areas. If nothing else, verbose names can make it faster to ignore irrelevant code.
