>For me that often resolves to a Pareto usage of naming conventions and reuse of field names - as long as doing that is possible without writing a rulebook for the exceptions cropping up in the far end of usage, which IMO makes such practice cumbersome sometimes in Java - the benefits of KISS approach are lost on the few special cases.

Exception make rule useless.

Let's say German grammar, where the exception is the rule. Made to bore pupils to death.
