You could choose to not read it as a prank, then it might be more interesting. I don't doubt there is an amount of purposeful obfuscation in the naming at least, and there clearly is a desire to be different. But looking beyond the surface, there is a coherent system there that I think deserves being judged as such, if you're going to judge it at all.
