This is not much of a dogmatic question. The use of case-sensitivity needs some kind of sensual approach according to its use.
In fact I highly appreciate case sensitivity a lot. 'B' simply does not equal 'b'.
Then again, most of the times I wish all thoses parsing algorithms would be more generous on detecting the meaning of what I typed, not only ingnoring the inproper use of majuscles, but also interpreting my typos.
While programming its not that hard to implement some simple greps now and then to add a little fuzziness to the interpretation of human input.
Of course this could end in a new source of misunderstandings on the interface side, but it surely would make communication a lot easier in most of the times. (And a lot funnier, too)
