Hal - This might be one of those 'unspoken truths'. We certainly see users stopping and scratching their heads when the click on a link and the target page doesn't match their expectations - usually because of a missing or incorrect title (one that does not match the link name). Even just subtle variations in terminology can cause this effect.
