And they all 'do' what they say they will do just with minor
differences.  That is, they act consistently.

If 'ls -a' listed the directory and 'ls -a *' converted all my
files into rot-13 I'd call that inconsistent.

Anyway, this is obviously a philosophical stalemate and I have
neither the time nor the desire to pursue it any further.

Moving on.
