The two "test" methods actually had different arguments (one wanted a string the other one an int).

The descriptive long names such as sendString are funny as long as they are short. I have had occasions where I wanted to differ between a complex object and a string representation: sendString(), sendQuery(), then there were two totally different type of Querys sendGeneratedQuery, sendSuperQueryFromHell, sendTheRoomServiceObjectThatNoOneEverWanted(). (just saying)

I believe that the example stated there were no difference in the code that
sent any of the types. If that was not the case, I'd keep the descriptive
long method names.

Agree on the type safety when you use *, but I would only use that when any
type is absolutely admissible, or I'd keep the descriptive long method
names.
