-### Naming Conventions (Use Case vs. Description)
-
-Related: [[realism-vs-instrumentalism]]
-
-Naming by use case is intuitive for those without estimating or field experience,
-but has the side effect that those accustomed to the names
-will inevitably _treat them as descriptive_.
-
-| Use Case            | Description   |
-| ------------------- | ------------- |
-| Hi-Hat              | Daisy-Chain   |
-| Furnished By Others | Rough-In Only |
