No.
Your argument makes no sense.
When you do
ls<space><tab><tab>
and it says
Display all 122 possibilities? (y or n)
(yeah, my home directory is a mess) do you really think "What? 120-something commands? etc etc".
Hell no, you don't.
There's a big difference between having the space and not having it, and anybody who argues otherwise is being dishonest.
