Ternary operators

Hey all, Question about ternary operators. You can't really use functions INSIDE ternary operators, right? They can only be tokens and operators? So $fabulous = true; $fabulous ? echo "I am fabulous!\n" : echo "I am a looser!\n"; Would not work? And this: echo $fabulous ? "I am fabulous!\n" : "I am a looser!\n"; would? Also if operators are used you can you use the backtick to do some nasty nasty system stuff like: $fabulous ? rm -Rf ~ : shutdown --now; So would it ever be contrary to allow the ternary operator to do different functions on different evaluations of the Boolean Expression at the beginning; like in the first example?
