No, clearly not. Function parameters are good example of exactly what tuples are about, with some extra struct/dict stuff for emphasis. If t is a valid argument tuple for function f, then can t[1:] also be a valia argument tuple for function f? For ordinary functions without special argument handling, no. We know that without having to know anything about t, and not much about f. This is characteristic of tuple applications.
