This is the same idea that is expressed in the concept of bike shedding on software projects. It comes up when naming things and other simple tasks.
When everyone thinks that they can have an opinion, then discussion degenerates into simple "mine is better than yours", same with politics and religion. Same with Vi and Emacs. Same with get_items() or retrieve_notes().
Look on some mailing lists for conversations over naming things for some good examples.
