As I pointed out in comment#5:
"I didn't find the place, where it does. What I found in man find was
'-name pattern' instead of 'patterns', but this is not a clear statement
imo. But also: in 'info find', node 'Primary Index' I fond '-name Base
name patterns' with s! "

I argued, that it is not written, that it accepts only one argument,
while you argue, that it is not written, that it accepts more than 1
argument. Is this a standard (that normally there is only one argument,
if not specified else) or why do you assume so? Then I would be sorry
for having taking your time because of this.

I meant, that in "man find" the part "non-bug" assumes, that "of course"
the there given example will not work. No more explanation why. This is
not enough.
have a nice day,
