I know one of the trip-ups I often have if I spend any time away from a

ones taken as real) or dot-dot-slash relative path syntax to just
"/god-directory/" or what-have-you. Many other commands, particularly ls and
ln -s, are likewise "particular about their paths."

That's a sweeping statement without any supporting data. I guess all I can say is that my experience doesn't coincide with your statements.
