Me doing me would be "I'm not sure I would go that route", which sounds the
same as you saying it's "not advisable". Doesn't sound like we're
disagreeing in that respect.

But I do disagree that it's inventively re-reading. The guideline says
"identified consistently" and not "named consistently". As mentioned
before, 2.5.3 specifically says "name" so if 3.2.4 really meant "named
consistently", it should have said so. There must have been a reason
"identified" was chosen over "named".
