I think some people should at least try to get over their math-phobia. I am trying to myself, and math is an uphill battle for me even without that kind of fear. The sloppy, opaque, inconsistent and often overloaded notation is an impediment, the 'let the reader infer most of this' proofs are an impediment... but if people are turned off to such a degree over a few names, they wouldn't last long in something which is such a mathy language anyway, relatable names or not.
