I typed in .el and it becomes .elc without even a "[Confirm]"

In dired I typed "=", filled in the filename, hit RET, and see that
"binary files differs" and say huh, since when is a .el a binary file?
Mainly I type in .el and the wonderful thing turns it into an .elc
without even a "[Confirm]", as it finds no .el .

I did this several times before realizing that all this helpful
filename completion is sometimes too helpful.

cd ~/.emacs_/
diff -c /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/gnuserv/gnuserv.elc 
/home/jidanni/.emacs_/gnuserv.el
Binary files /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/gnuserv/gnuserv.elc and 
/home/jidanni/.emacs_/gnuserv.el differ
