That's your problem. Paul did:
$ touch 'a b' c

He didn't list his creation command. How

You are assuming that. But if he didn't list how
he created them...
Where (or under what conditions)
do you see the "a, b and c" being
spaced apart equally?
When you intentionally create the spacing between a and b to match the
spacing between a*b and c.

Why would you intentionally create something to be
confusing? ;-?
Oh... to make a point and win an argument. Silly me.
