Perhaps for the same reason as this existentialist error message:

    >> pair? 1x1
    == true
    >> pair? 2x2
    == true
    >> 1x1 < 2x2
    ** Script Error: Expected one of: pair! - not: pair!
    ** Near: 1x1 < 2x2

If the puzzlement isn't clear, compare with the following

    >> 1x1 < #"?"
    ** Script Error: Expected one of: pair! - not: char!
    ** Near: 1x1 < #"?"
    >> 1x1 < #?
    ** Script Error: Expected one of: pair! - not: issue!
    ** Near: 1x1 < #?
