I first had short names, but I felt the long names would be more
readable since we have 3 different variables per ID and telling them
apart is easier when their names make their purpose painfully obvious. I
don't have a really strong opinion about this topic, though.

Please feel free to change variable naming to b1 and b2. I will probably
even ack it.
