Not true for all 'real' networks.
When I worked for a small Cisco reseller a few years ago I was also in
charge of the company's network infrastructure and I had aliases on all
the Cisco equipment. Of course, in this environment there was no one
else who had a clue how to configure the equipment, no change control,
etc. And many of the dot.coms I built were the same way, at least at
first.
I think you are referring to larger, stable networks under the eye of
configuration management, change control, etc. Not that this is
necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly does not describe all
real-world networks. There are thousands of small shops with a handful
of network boxes run by one or two persons who are given carte blanche
to configure things any way they want, as long as the network is up and
costs are down.
