Team's Response

It's not necessary for our system to consider 'John Doe' and 'john doe' as duplicates, because many contact applications treat contacts with different capitalizations as distinct entries.

Consider this scenario with an Android contact application: "john Doe" and "John Doe" are recognised as separate contacts. This practice is standard among many major phone applications, and our application follows this norm. Furthermore, we have stressed that the name field is case-sensitive within the user guide.
