Wow. Thanks for bringing this up. 100% agree with you that "naming" is probably something very crucial. A lot of us do take shortcuts, but as long as it's documented, and communicated well it reduces the risk to a great extent.

I still believe people shouldn't take shortcuts whenever possible, especially while naming things. :)
