I think we will never really settle this discussion... People have different 
ways to remember names; some recognize case naturally (by visual means), and 
others may have trouble with it (using auditory means). In a sense, case 
turns out to be important for 'visual' people. 

In the end, it's hard for people in one side to understand the problem of the 
other one. This leads to endless (and fruitless) discussion.

Now if we had colors in a programming language :-) Color blind users would not 
be happy...
