Default Jepps airport and VOR names ... how used?

In a previous article, "Steven P. McNicoll" said:
Flight data processing computers could understand and process VOR to airport
and airport to VOR routes with identical identifiers. They still do, the
VORs that had their identifiers changed were typically those that were more
than about five miles from the airport.


BUF VOR is 3.8nm from BUF airport, so that fits.

I find that anthropomorphism really doesn't help me deal with hardware all
that much, because it lends a certain attitude of disdain to what would
otherwise be a mere malfunction. -- Carl Jacobs
