Absolute nonsense. Once again you seem to either have no idea how shells
work, or are attempting to redefine them to suit your desire for how they
should work.
Given
var=foo
There is literally no difference between
command -v "$var"
and
command -v foo
when "command" runs. And if earlier foo had been defined as
alias foo='ls -F'
then both forms will tell you that foo is an alias.
