For the most part (boolean parameters being one of the major exceptions),
AppleScript has no idea what the meaning is of something it compiles that
anything other than AppleScript is going to execute, and it doesn't care
whether what you string together makes sense to the thing which will be
called.
It's perfectly happy to compile such nonsense as
do shell script "ls" administrator privileges Monday
