Error in t.test(rnorm(2)) : not enough x observations

Is this just a bug (the tests in lines 34 and 49 of the code should be "< 2"
rather than "<= 2") or is it some sort of bondage and dicipline political
correctness
for the user's own good?  If the latter, I don't approve.  If the procedure
makes
mathematical sense, then R should do it.
