@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org I do not know why but I do not make this mistake anymore. I think I did not do it since at least 25 years. I think my brain exploded first time I had to explain it to students and since then has been glued in the "right" way. 'ln -s x y' is understood by my muscles as: copy/put the path x as the content of the y file (exactly as cp or mv). For me content of symbolic links are just path. I do not think at the 'ls: representation when using 'ln -s'. #Unix
