You do find it important, otherwise you wouldn't have spent cumulative
hours arguing about it.
Honestly, I am not objecting to the name duck! It's a fine name, and
successfully describes the meaning (as long as you explain it to newbies
who have no idea what 'duck typing' is). The only issue I have is the
statement that naming the function duck is somehow a marketing benefit, or
that naming it something that correctly describes the function, but isn't
duck, will somehow push away users.
