Article is poorly written, long winded, nonsense. I am happy for Relation names to distinguish entities. He is basically arguing that this violates some sacred principle and that all meaning should be available from column names, so that relations names can be ignored. I don't think that even Chris Date who is a zealous RM fanatic would argue this - his books are actually quite good much more logical than Fabian Pascall. I'm also sure that Joe Celko would not agree with Fabian on this.
