This illustrates my point nicely! What does the shell do in this case? It treats both errors the same: It prints an error message and returns to the command line. It does not magically try to guess the filename, find a way to get you permission, etc.
No, but you do know the difference. It doesn't just say "can't open file <filename>". It will say either, "file <filename> doesn't exist" or "don't have permission to access <filename>". It's a huge difference. I know _what_ went wrong with that file, not just that _something_ when wrong.
