It's the same principle IMO. The name gets repeated in so many places if it's important. Documentation, code, URLs, databases--even just finding all the places

The name gets repeated in so many places if it's important. Documentation, code, URLs, databases--even just finding all the places you need to change it involves a ton of work.
- bmitc 4y agoSee my other comment in another reply, but are you suggesting that it's better for something to keep the same name while also changing its behavior and purpose? It doesn't make any sense.
- surement 4y ago> The name gets repeated in so many places if it's important. like the parent points out, the named thing is likely "important" precisely because it had a non-descriptive name to begin with and engineers added things to it they shouldn't have if it had a descriptive name then other functionality would've been put in their own module
