Why did he name 'bootstrap_css' instead of 'bootstrap_min_css' inside of the wp_enqueue_style?

In functions.php file, he named 'bootstrap_css' instead of 'bootstrap_min_css' inside of the wp_enqueue_style. Would't it be better if he named it exactly the same as the actual css file name in which case 'bootstrap.min.css'.

Is there any better reason why he used it 'bootstrap_css'? It worked fine with 'bootstrap_min_css' by the way.

Thanks in advance.

The first paramater you can name whatever you want. He named it bootstrap_css, but you can name it whatever you like really. You can name it just "b". You can name it "bootiebootstrapbootsmin"..... You get the idea. Its just to reference later if you have to. So naming it the same exact name as the actual file might get confusing :-)
