That is of course your prerogative, but you forget that the precedent of 
voiding Hungarian Notation has already been chosen, MessageNotUnderstood 
and DivideByZero being the cannonical examples.

So the other *Exception classes in the image are incorrect.

Whilst no one class is sufficent cause to get overly upset about, enough 
poorly named classes will create sufficient entropy to destroy a large 
portion of the aethetic aspect of Smalltalk.
