A comment on A prog by any other name.

We’re calling rm, but we’re calling it cp. Fortunately, cp is not one of the programs that cares what we call it.

Something is contradictory here. Perhaps rm is such a program?

Why does `cp`s behavior here under discussion? `cp` is not being invoked or executed.
