Follow up as it is too late to edit and I want to note an observation: this is why I dislike naming things unnecessarily. Giving an approach a name leads many people to treat it as some sort of absolute, because It Has Been Named, and to use it without question.
We should try to understand why we do the things we do instead of applying Named Methods because since they are named they must be absolute.
I am being hyperbolic for effect, but I do believe that this is a real effect, and I personally do hesitate to name things that don't really need a name.
