Yes, case is less important when you have additional context like an
entire sentence.  The problem is that in most computer applications, we
don't have any contxt to allow us to distinguish one thing from
another, so case becomes more important.  You may have noticed that I
misspelled "context" in the previous sentence, or maybe not.  In either
event, I'm sure you had no trouble understanding what I meant.  Are you
now going to claim that English isn't spelling sensitive, either?
