The part of the article talking about dropping to one verb ("use") made me think of the same thing ("execute"). The benefit to verb/noun (or noun.verb) is getting BOTH. If you effectively drop the verb, you lose out on half the communication. To use another comment, you may not want to quaff a ladder, but it is a bad idea to assume you just "ladder", and if assume too narrow a field it leads to frustrations. (In programming or in games. Back when I looked into text adventure games (interactive fiction) there was a truism that "use" was a _bad_ verb) If you ARE wide enough....then you have little difference between noun verb and verb noun except for the effort required. Honestly, I was more interested in the first part of the article, that talked about checking the state if the world rather than a sequence if steps.
