Thanks for that.  Very easy for subtle misunderstandings to creep in.  
Yes, I am/was thinking of the single quotes as 'part of aptitude' if you 
get  me.  Important to understand that they remain zsh's way of grouping 
the words into three logical arguments.  That thought would never have 
occurred to me. Actually even as I type this, clouds are parting.  That 
also explains why the array syntax obviates the single quotes -- the 
fact of the array already groups the words into three entities.  The 
hard thing is that all this grouping /splitting is invisible.  It's very 
astute of you to catch that I'm getting the invisible stuff wrong.  And 
such clarity of explanation!
