> A kneejerk response from folks who haven't thought about this before is very useful, as it illustrates what the web developers intuitivly expect from the web platform. The platform should try to conform to this expecation where it can ("least surprise"), so it is helpful to know what that expectation is.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends on what's being asked and how it's being asked, and what other factors aren't being mentioned.
Many aspects of the web platform aren't intuitive, or have multiple possible intuitions to go by. Like I said in the very comment you're responding to:
> Sure, getting people's quick intuitions can be useful, but those intuitions can also be inconsistent, and it's better for everyone to have a consistent, rational platform even if occasionally corner cases require an "oh, I get it" moment.
