It is a matter of scope, to say nothing of opinion, that “all names are subject 
to socio-economic pressures.” There are a great many identifiers in use on the 
internet, and it’s hard to even evaluate this claim without some discussion of 
context. (We spent much of the ARCING BOF on pretty much this point.)

Given that discussion of “special use names” is even more likely than most to 
suffer from assumptions about context, a more precise formulation of this claim 
would probably be helpful.
