His point still stands, though. :) Those who already know what a Bloom Filter is would probably the find the name more convenient than having to say a short description every time. Those that are just learning programming might argue that Hash, Array, Boolean, String, etc. would be understood faster if they had more descriptive names. Having a short, distinctive name helps in differentiating and reasoning about the different objects. Think of an everyday programming-related discusion that includes hashes, arrays, and strings, and think about making the following substitutions: - Hash : Contiguous Allocation with Well-Shuffled Value-Derived Indexes - Array : Contiguous Allocation of Same Typed Values - String : Contiguous Allocation of Character Values - Boolean : Either True or False Value
