Unfortunately, I remember too many arguments where I start out
disagreeing vehemently and end up having to give in for sake of
"reasonableness" (cursed are they who see both sides of the
argument...).

My argument for case sensitivity is that "it damn well should be like
that" (all those careless programmers, mutter, mutter). Which probably
means I'll need to give in. Oh well.
