Comments

"Run the program" is eventually generalized into "Run the $1" and someone assigns it "plate", and I as an i18n end user obtain to rotate apertures on escaping dinnerware. A license plate cannot be operated and that's one less ambiguity gone before it happens.

I get why these technical expressions counter productive, they create uneven cognitive load on speech center in the brain rather than distributing interpretation task wide across from visual and motor and various cortex that would be readily available. But that's the goal; to minify dependency graph and remove variances coming from implementation differences.
