You are speaking in terms of sc and not in general, right? If so, thanks.
Even for MS Office they are pretty much the same (though not always), but in
Numbers they are very different and it is common to have more than one table
per sheet (and more than one sheet per file, and more than one file per
window though the use of tabs).

Sure, you can change the script... and no doubt even if we cannot find a
real-world use for your exact example it is demonstrative of a huge benefit
of sc.
