I don’t think this is correct. Consider what you see from using sh -c -- 'var="a " && printf "%s\n" "${var}"-z'

If "${var}"-z resulted in two arguments instead of one, I’d see “a” and “-z” on different lines, but I see them on the same line, which means they are treated as a single argument.

Reality is the matter we act upon, using energy.

I believe it is your responsibility to properly use energy you control. Moreover, you will always have excess energy that you need to dispose of somehow (living things need to collect more energy than is absolutely required, or they risk death).

Note that a collection of energy that is expended improperly is called a “bomb”.
