It doesn't, and I wasn't arguing that... I was suggesting that if one were to prefer reading and writing code without highlighting, one might be more inclined to design a language such that capitalization carries some semantic weight. I'm just speculating here. I don't really have an opinion one way or the other, although I don't think anyone's an idiot for having an opinion about it, as the OP does.
