Urgh. Now I'm confused... the manual page for test on my Mac says that
-f passes if the argument exists and is a regular file. A directory is not a
regular file, so -f would fail (on MacOS at least), no?

Also, by default, I thought links were followed and the destination was
tested not the link itself?

I'll do some more tests when I get back to my computer, and adjust again
If necessary.
