What goes around comes around. We had naming conventions that produced succinct names. They became denigrated and shunned (for no good reason) - use long descriptive names!
Now we see that was a bad idea - longer names just allow for more wasted words and are actually less descriptive. Some kind of social or algorithmic convention makes them quicker to parse and understand.
I suppose some compromise will be proposed one day. Maybe a prefix to classify the method name, then some short description. Or even an IDE convention to pop up a short description for method names to allow clarification in-situ.
