I'm willing to gamble insane amounts on that's never ever going to happen.
I have to say I really detest SO for making this a generic rule. These questions are often top Google results and perhaps all the answers were good 3 year ago but it's missing up to date info because it's locked.
The name option is misunderstood. You have options. Sometimes you just have to pick one.
Try going to the ice cream shop and ask for an ice cream but refuse to give them the size, flavour or the type of dip. Tell them it's optional and you shouldn't need to provide this information on order to get ice cream.
Chances are you're suddenly getting a new set of options. A. Kicked out. B. No ice cream. C. Gigantic truck size vanilla icecream with garlic dip and tuna flavour. That'll be $79.99.
You have options but sometimes you have to pick a few.
If you argue for positional arguments, try ordering ice cream: large chocolate strawberry.
Does that mean chocolate flavour or dip?
