Well yes good point. But do the same procedure with:

a<-rnorm(100)
b<-rnorm(100)
data<-data.frame(a,b)
names(data)<-c("a","b")

then lets say fix(data) ... nothing will happen or open "data" from workspace 
browser (as in my previous example) and nothing will happen. Shouldn't the 
same thing happen?

BTW, as you might consent the lines attached in my example are not a good 
example how to work with R (size and arrangement of data ...). Thus it was 
really interesting for me to see what happens ... .
