to go a step further, anyone using time variables based on calendar periods should know better than to think the relative time of +1 month would be simple. I'm not sure it's the fault of using a simple name in this case.

I'm sure there could have been a lot better options to drive that point home, but the author picked one that I'm sure everyone has an opinion about. That seems like an effective way to get people talking about it, but it could be divisive in bad ways.

I'm a little put off by the other saying "a clean name shuts down our thinking", so maybe I'm just responding in disgust.

What would be a better example to make the point, do you think? I always use the best example I can think of. Obviously there must be better ones.
