    I'm not sure I understand the explanation here.  The page linked makes no mention of the names function as far as I can see but the names function does appear to be a  possible way of assigning column names.  I'm also not sure why you'd choose the names function rather than the colnames function which is specifically intended to set the column names.

    On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

    It feels like there are too many different ways to do the same thing in R.  This Stack Overflow question deals with this concept and the way Steve chose to do it is only the 9th highest answer.
    Not sure if that is necessarily a bad thing, but does make it confusing when looking in from the outside.

    There are multiple ways to do this. I've done it with colnames(), but decided to see how names() worked.
