The argument for using proper names is that hivemind chat is a visual representation of beno thoughts shared via it. For all we care benos could share fucking 3D HD model of a SADAR to fellow sisters when talking in hivemind, but its just text for us.
The argument for using any other name is someone atleast trying to RP as a beno and thats worth praise, because one of the biggest pillars of good RP is that you sacriface "powergame-y" mindset by letting yourself being a bit inconvinienced, or at a disadventage.
Simillary to a marine refusing to wear a helmet (or any other headgear that for some reason protects the head just the same, like a fucking baguette-eating french beret)
Normalise praising honest attempts at RP, penalise hardass normies with brain benomainism.
Memes are not RP.
