Very early C compilers had all struct members in the same namespace, so you had to add prefixes like 'tc_size', 'ws_size', etc. Nowadays, there may be a dozen different 'size' members in a codebase. It is conceivable that understandability is actually lower with overloaded names.

When paranoid, you can be wrong 1000 times & you will survive.
If non-paranoid; wrong once, and you, your genes, & the rest of your group are done.
It's a yuuuge mystery that academics who deal w/risk, "rationality", subforecasting & superforecasting fail to get it.

Are you sitting down? This house sold for less than it went for in 1991. Some people reading this weren't even born then.
It's in Long Grove, new in 1991.
Sold January 1991: $533,000
Sold January 2020: $526,000
(-1% in 29 years)

Things schools don't teach:
How to invest
How to manage risk
How to manage stress
How taxes work
How money works
How to be an entrepreneur
How to think for yourself
How to build your net worth
How to marry right
Instead kids learn how to give the teacher what they want.
