That's your problem.  Paul did:

$ touch 'a  b' c
----
        He didn't list his creation command.  How
would you know?


with two spaces, not one.

You are assuming that.  But if he didn't list how
he created them...



Where (or under what conditions)
do you see the "a, b and c" being
spaced apart equally?

When you intentionally create the spacing between a and b to match the
spacing between a*b and c.

Why would you intentionally create something to be confusing? ;-?

        Oh... to make a point and win an argument.  Silly me.
