And he keeps doing it. Look at his complaints about firefox. I mean Firefox.
LOL!

He ended up having to resort to the idea that the name of the program and
the name of the executable are different and this is NOT a problem as a
defense for why his goof on the capitalization did not matter.

His argument is like saying I can make a product and call it "ubuntu" or
"linux" and that is fine because it will not cause any confusion with those
looking for "Ubuntu" or "Linux".

Exactly. He goofed.

At the very least you would think he would focus on the rare edge cases
where case sensitivity is an actual advantage - such as having a folder with
dictionary terms and wanting to have proper and common nouns.
