He didn't have to. His point was merely that with the old ls, you can
have inherently ambiguous situations.  Think of it as an exercise for
the reader to figure out ways to get into those ambiguous situations.

        Good communication isn't supposed to be
a puzzle.  Creating puzzles in order for people to get your
message is, again, a way to "make points" and play games.

Sorry.  I was told to provide the means to reproduce my examples
when reporting a problem.  That wasn't done.  Poor example.
Justifying it as providing a puzzle for readers to solve is
just another game.
