Hey Olemis,

just one quick comment to cut through the thicket of
challenge/responses:

Practicality beats purity.  Quoting XUnit Patterns to me and/or basing
your discussion on nomenclature taken from XUnit Patterns isn't going to
convince me ;).  Actual examples of screwups caused by such decisions
are more interesting than citations, at least to me.

(Yeah, I may not make a very good academic ;)

cheers,
