Can anyone suggest a rationale for why sapply() returns different types (list and matrix) in the two examples below? Is there any way to get sapply() or any other apply() function to return a matrix in both cases? simplify=TRUE doesn't change the outcome.
I understand why it is happening, I just can't understand why such unpredictable behavior makes sense.
