Article note: This is a ...narrow... view. Most modern unix-like systems are absolutely lousy with binaries that behave differently when called with different names.
All the common preboot environments and small embedded linuxes have a busybox type thing where _one binary_ provides most of the POSIX environment via symlinked names. Etc.
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
