Should alias names be preceded by AS? - Part 2

In the Part 1, I expressed my opinion on having the alias names preceded by the keyword AS

Adding to the examples given at the link, consider this example too

SELECT
        10number,
        10.number,
        10 number,
        10 [number],
        10[number],
        10 as number

It gives six columns with the result 10 and alias name number. Note that the first two expressions seem to be completely misleading

Am I right in insisting that SQL Server should force the usage of AS before the alias name?
