Either way, there are a lot of instances that title case even if intended
are misused.
Now imagine having to decide which of these strings should be "sentence
cased" or "title cased". IMHO it would be horrendous and impractical (not to
mention subjective) to choose a casing for each string depending on its
context.

We should just stick to a guide line and try to follow it.
