Actually it makes quite a bit of difference. Sometimes you copy
the method header into your code from the docs for convenience. I
know I do. Sure you can change it, but the point is "why should I
have to?". If we didn't care about convenience or consistency, what
difference do Bindings make, for example? ;-)
While you're coding (if you don't remember to change the
arguments' names) it's a pain to start writing 'tableView' when you
meant 'tv', etc. Why should I have to change anything? There's really
no reason why they shouldn't be consistent, especially in the Cocoa
frameworks themselves.
Good development is all about speed, convenience, and consistency,
as you well know. I'm actually grateful to Stephane for doing what
I've been too lazy to do (even though I've grumbled to myself about
the fact many times) and actually file a bug report against it. It's
just one of those minor annoyances that adds up over time.
