If the function was called getProfile and we do module.exports.get = getProfile, the API is still get. Explanation?

We would still do: users.forEach(profile.get); and not: users.forEach(profile.getProfile); why?

module.exports.get = getProfile

We are assigning the getProfile function on the right to the get name on the left.
