Of course it makes sense. Researchers have found a positive correlation between code size and number of defects. Type declarations increases code size. > By that logic we should all use the shortest variable/function names possible so that we can minimize the length/lines of code Perhaps we should since there is no research to suggest that short names negatively affect software quality.
