Interestingly enough, I can definitely agree with this. Personally, I would stick with my convention solely for the fact that I've gotten used to it. As soon as I see a linking verb (such as "is" and "are") in the beginning of an identifier, I can immediately assume a Boolean value at first glance given that this naming convention only allows Boolean values to be represented by interrogative statements.

But this is not to discredit your suggestion, not at all. As said earlier, I can agree with it. It's just that I have grown accustomed to the way of thinking brought about by the naming convention in the article. In other words, it's just a matter of habit for me.
