That is a very good question. Since "Exists" is in "entityExists", I suppose it ought to test for existence but that makes it only marginally useful and why I asked for a consolidated method of handling the resolution of redirects vs. attempting to making the rest of the API handle redirects (which is likely error prone and hides what is really going on).
