Default Put Name's Refer's to: field in cell

Why is it when you create a defined name called "TEST" with a
Refers to: field equal to =SUM(A1,B1) and type =SUM(TEST,1),
you don't have to wrap the name TEST in quotes ?


Characters wrapped with quote marks is text... the argument to the SUM
function is not a text string... if you used "TEST" as the argument, Excel's
evaluator would not see the defined name TEST, rather, it would see just the
individual characters T, E, S and T and would assign no meaning to them.
