And you're fundamentally damn right!
In fact, the whole matter started with Leo's question:

hi there
want to eject a firewrire drive (iPod) in applescript via applescript.
however, i don't want to use the finder function "eject" due to finder's
non-interceptable message dialogs when the firewire drive is in use.
any idea how i can eject a drive natively or via another more
controllable
method?
thanks, leo
and this led to that strange (or possibly not strange: we're just looking for an explanation) behavior of "diskutil".
