I’ve noticed similar behavior with other apps.
If you pass the “command” as in :
exists (POSIX file posixPath)
The command will fail, meaning it will not return what you expect.
However, declaring a variable before as in
set pp to POSIX file posixPath
exists pp
will always work.
The “get” inside the first command will always error.
