I agree with both.

I've just created a pull request that tries to document both points. See:

https://github.com/metamath/set.mm/pull/1390

I expect conversations about naming conventions to

are becoming larger & larger, which is a good thing, and
that increase in scale is making it ever more important
to have clear names.
