| Is it possible for people to stop polluting perfectly valid namespaces? I understand that the metaphors and analogies make snese but every time this occurs, whether it's software, films, or whatever, it furthers destroys the integrity of already crumbling search engines. Edit: Because apparently this isn't clear enough: 1. Real world phenomena and technical projects are two distinctive categories, each encompassing a wealth of unique information. 2. Namespaces serve as unique identifiers, used to prevent naming conflicts in various domains. 3. When these namespaces are used within both real-world phenomena and technical projects, they overlap. 4. Overlapping namespaces, by their nature, blur the boundaries between distinctive categories. 5. Search engines operate by categorizing and associating information based on identifiers, specifically namespaces. 6. When these identifiers are blurred, the precision of search engines is compromised. 7. As search engine precision diminishes, the efficacy of search results for users decreases. 8. The reduction in search results efficacy translates to increased search times and decreased productivity, or an inability to find anything about the topic whatsoever due to results pruning. 9. A decrease in productivity is an indirect impact of namespace pollution, disrupting both those living in the real-world and those looking for technical information. 10. We already have to deal with SEO. We shouldn't need to deal with this as well. |
