Why ReSharper always suggests to use vars instead of explicit type usages?

in response to khooroos:
Implicit variable declaration is preferred because ...
It forces you to put some thought into your variable name.
int j = 10;
for(int i = 0; i < j; i++) { }
versus:
var upperBoundsOfCollection = 10;
for (var index = 0; index < upperBoundsOfCollection; index++) { }
when you have the type written there in front of your variable declaration, you are ALSWAYS tempted to give your variable a non-meaningful name. When there is no type specified, you are more likely to name your variables in such a manner that you know what it is for and why it is there.
I still don't know why an implicit declaration is preferred so that JetBrains decided to keep the above toggle on by default.
