I agree with this. If I can figure out all the names from one or two simple
rules and the vocabulary, then I only need to remember the heuristic, and it
can be easily applied to vocabulary that is not currently known, or added
later.

Emacs is a good anti-example of this, eg. current-buffer vs. buffer-list
You never know whether you should try a subject-verb or verb-subject name.
