My point is that sometimes having shorter names reveals the structure of
what you're trying to do more clearly. (This is why mathematicians use a
bazillion weird symbols for communication.)
But sure, I take your point that in the usual case, you want names that
are going to make sense to people and be reasonably descripting without
being too huge...
