If in either case, the URI returns a document, it
is consistent and successful in the behavioral
semantic of dereferencing. It is unsuccessful
in the semantic of "find". Different levels
of application. Find is a semantic layered
over "dereference".

Hmm ... I treat "dereference" as a success verb like find. You can _try_
to find something and not find it. But you can't unsuccessfully find
something, you've just ... not found it. Ditto for dereference.
