Voltron you are sort of right in thinking what does a modern road need to be named after some ancient person…in fact I999 would be perfectly good. Ofcourse if the modern road was being built over an ancient road built by person x then choosing to name the new road x also makes sense but this is Not the case with many of the modern roads so what purpose would it be to name the new road x…maybe just to get a reaction or spite…possibly.
But could another reason exist. Can you imagine how it looks to the world if on one side of the fence no mention of x exists anywhere in the whole place while if someone looked over the other side of the fence saw every road building or even tree marked x. Who looks like they have pride in x and a sense of connection with x and whose argument looks more correct even though the label x was only put up in 1988. If you leave out the last bit x looks like he clearly belongs on one side of the fence yet include this fact and the argument looks hollow.
If you don’t open your mouth people will say its your own fault for not speaking up yet to be slapped in the mouth every time you want to speak does not prove the argument for the other side nor excuse the slap in the mouth.
