    I was arguing the semantics are being misused. If you have head1, head2, head3... they correspond to something like book, chapter, verse. A single method or function, to me, never rises to the level of chapter. Item is a much better library match for a function than head2. It's a FOSS world, lots of hackers disagree, do what you like, etc. Promoting list items to chapter titles breaks reasonable semantics in my view and promotes lousy hierarchies and slap-dash documentation. But I will cogitate on your thorough and incisive rebuttal since it contains so much to consider.
