If he had addressed me as "Bob," I would have said, "There's no 'B'
in my name.  And you also left out the 'w' and the 'l'."

Nope.  I generated an error message.  Just like a case-sensitive
filesystem would:

owl@thinkpad:~$ ls owl
owl
owl@thinkpad:~$ ls Owl
ls: cannot access Owl: No such file or directory
owl@thinkpad:~$
