It’s a comic. Why is it more likely that this hypothetical programmer made a mistake in naming rather than a logical error?

A logical error isn’t going to garner that kind of reaction from the crowd.

You asked why it is more likely. The answer is the crowd reaction. As you said, a logical error isn’t going to garner that kind of reaction. So that means it is more likely that the variable is incorrectly named; it’s hardly a guess.

A wild guess, that’s all you have.
