Ok, then why be inconsistent in ampersand usage (in the example you posted)?

    In the example I posted &SOME_TEST was the only user-defined funtion call. I don't see the inconsistency that you are referencing.

      In the second last episode, you wrote ...

      I always use an ampersand as part of function calls.

      ... from which "user-defined" phrase is missing, which now appeared in the latest episode. In light of that, sure, there is no inconsistency of ampersand usage.

        Placing an ampersand in front of system defined functions results in a syntax error.
        If you're going to get pedantic, it might be clearer to refer to the nodes in question directly with [id://...] rather than to make mention of some 'episode'.
