You would lose the bet...
In this case the dialog that came up with my example does not show up.

set l to "/Users/deivy/Desktop/reaching.txt"
try
	tell application "System Events" to open disk item l
on error e
	return e
end try

--Events--
tell application "System Events"
	open disk item "/Users/deivy/Desktop/reaching.txt"
		--> error number 0
end tell
