@psnively @springrod Do you mean the utopian premise that non-alpha identifiers are somehow related to readability?

@dibblego @psnively @springrod I guess it comes down to a familiarity issue. We think in similarities but coding in nat. Lang is not precise

@curious_reader @psnively @springrod It comes down to over-estimation in one's ability to read, leading to a false belief identifiers matter

@dibblego @psnively @springrod yes but this is simply an issue, because reading is taught with alpha letters, so I see it as a fam. Issue

@curious_reader @psnively @springrod But identifier names have nothing to do with anything. Recognising this is the first step.

@dibblego @psnively otherwise you had to teach @springrod reading again(and all other people with that issue), that's gonna be though ;)

@curious_reader @psnively @springrod Teaching people to read code/mathematics is easy, for the general case. Especially children.

@dibblego @psnively @springrod I absolutely agree but it gets harder with age (because of miseducation)
