I'd have the same response to someone using _ instead of a space. Why bother? May be because:

Sorry, I'm honestly at a loss as to what you were demonstrating there. Let's do the same thing, but with underscores.
brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ touch windows brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ touch 7 brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ touch windows_7 brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ ls -l total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 7 -rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 windows -rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 windows_7 brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ rm -rf windows 7 brett@capsid:/tmp/space$ ls -l total 0 -rw-rw-r-- 1 brett brett 0 Jul 17 21:50 windows_7 brett@capsid:/tmp/space$
In both cases, it did exactly what we asked it to. Spaces had absolutely no bearing on anything.
Yes, it did do exactly what was asked - but not exactly what was intended (to retain "windows" and "7" whilst removing the other). Crispy.
