I hear ya', but like so many other oddities in the language this one came from Apple, the same team who decided that we should be able to use property syntax for function calls, but only sometimes, and that many global properties should start with "dont" rather than change their default value, but again only sometimes.
Those geographically inclined may note the proximity of the HyperCard team's workplace to the location where most of California's medical marijuana is grown today. Draw whatever conclusions you like from those two perhaps-unrelated facts....
