Errm... no.  The fact that URLs get redirected is only 
one exception to that.   They don't have that confidence. 
They have that expectation.  It is reinforced positively 
or negatively everytime they use any given URL and they 
get different degrees of confidence for specific URLs 
used over time.

When two people use the same http URL, they have a reasonable degree of
confidence that they will be connecting to the same "thing", and they
don't even have to dereference the site to have that confidence.
