I'm not going to take that bet, I might as well give you the $20 right now!

It is a bit of a no-win situation: either answer questions from people who don't understand the issues with duplicate names, or answer questions about the error messages you'd have to introduce if duplicates are going to be forbidden. I think it's six of one or half a dozen of the other...

My solution to this kind of thing is to write a FAQ entry, so when people ask me the question, I can reply to their email by simply sending them a link.
