First: if you're talking about LabVIEW variable names, I'm going to assume you don't know what you're talking about.
Second: LabVIEW is extremely proficient at not just detecting syntax errors, but at preventing them in the first place.
If you're talking about labels used in the RefNum Registry, then you have a point, but claiming "seemingly no reason" is overblown. A misspelled string passed to a RefNum Get function will give a distinct error.
In the typical TechnoKats robot code, each resource name exists only once in the entire program (it wouldn't have to exist at all if it weren't required in order for Test Mode to work properly). The problem of spelling a name two different ways simply does not occur. I know of at least three ways to do this, each with its own tradeoffs among such things as quickness of setup, speed of use, and simplicity of making major changes.
