Greetings Andre, 

It just made better sense to have the variable reflect the actual object that is being instantiated. 

You have to assume that the name is the "key" instead of just saying, "hey, this is a map, so it must work as Map...." 

I just think it is cleaner to indicate the datatype in contrast to naming it something that requires assumptions about what it is. 

Respectfully,
