So I assume that the literal version "character id 65" is resolved at

I'm still confused about why an object specifier that doesn't match
the Finder's dictionary would get sent to the Finder, though..
It seems to me that the compiler knows it's in a tell Finder block
and interprets "id 65" as file_id 65 because Finder reports that it
thinks that way. The lexical item character exists in AppleScript so
the logical choice is to ask Finder to see about file with file_id 65
and then try to apply the character type to the result if finder
can't handle that part of the line by itself.
All would be so much simpler to understand and to code for if that
damnable space character was reserved for separating lexical items.
character_id would leave no room for confusion.

Applescript syntax is like English spelling:
