It is better to have consistent semantics than semantics that bend in various directions for special circumstances, because no one will be able to remember the exceptions for every circumstance. If you can't handle this concept, then maybe you should not attempt to use a shell, and stick to using guis and flipping burgers. I think that is more cut out for you.
