Wrong. Anything with the right *catcode* after \ is a csname, not anything.
Is a space after \ part of the csname? No, normally not, unless you
change the catcode of the space.

Ever heard about how TeX (any TeX engine) reads and tokenize the input?

Then call it politically, or whatever, it is disturbing, at least to
me. I don't blur out permanently that I am faithful to a good bottle
of Sake, or Nudism, or Abstract Algebra, or whatever. I am not interested
in that.
