Commands are defined in terms of their results, not in terms of their
actions, and certainly not in terms of the amount of grinding that is
caused by them.

Have you ever realized that

GRANT SELECT ON table1 TO person;

might not do anything?  No one has suggested notices for that.  Or have
you ever seen a notice issued as the result of

chmod a+x filename

when the file was already executable?
