I'm quite aware... basically it means that novice devs can create a table in camelCase and query in camelCase... but you can clean it all up as long as they didn't realize you needed double quotes.

Fair point. I always disliked the design because ORMs pretty much always use quotes, so an entity-first approach can create a lot of tables with capital letters if you're not careful, which is then really annoying if you need to use raw SQL for anything.
