Actually, one should say it differentiates between those that can
follow a mass and those that understand what is going on and being said.
So the way things are now, there are those that can use Xe(La)TeX
(because they learned the words) and
those that understand what is happening (those that have command of
english and TeX).

Personally, whether it is called \section, \abschnitt, or \ghaefjkh123
does not matter, as long as I can learn
which command name to use for getting a section.
