And I would prefer the command I prefer to be run, as decided
by the path argument. When I put something that comes in root's path
ahead of the standard path, it is thre for a reason, and I would be
extremely irked by some script pretending to know better than I.
In other words, if the human has gone out of their way to put
a command that precedes the default for root, they should get what
they want. period.

The only solution is ... a balance of power. We arm our side with
exactly that much more. A balance of power -- the trickiest, most
difficult, dirtiest game of them all. But the only one that
preserves both sides. Kirk, "A Private Little War", stardate 4211.8
