The tao that can be tar(1)ed is not the entire Tao.
The path that can be specified is not the Full Path.


What the fatal fandango is "tar(1)" and how is it related to Tao (in the original)?  Nuzzling into Linux suggests it is a function deep in all the eunuchs but I am not sure that any of that applies here (nor what the "(1)" means).  Archiving a path doesn't seem to be the same as walking it -- or describing it, depending.  So, that joke failing, what is going on?
