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.
The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one’s time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.
