Is column.ui.* configuration a bit too strong?

Since its inception at 7e29b825 (Add column layout skeleton and git-column, 2012-04-21), it seems that git_column_config() asked for a specific $command did not give "column.$command.*" any precedence over the fallback value defined for "column.ui.*". If you happen to have column.ui.* earlier than the corresponding column.$command.* in your configuration, then the values come from column.ui.* may be overwritten, but the code does not seem to enforce "if there is a setting for a specific command, honor that, otherwise fall back to the generic 'ui' setting".

Am I misreading the code?
