I haven't commented yet but you have half hit a nerve for me.
Okay so, I'm in agreement about the point being made 100%.
But there isn't really anything I can _do_ about it.

Just a thought, add a checklist to CONTRIBUTING.md on Github and have 
this as one of them for function/method names.
It probably just slipped peoples minds. Problem solved.
