VBA theory of why Paste is in Worksheet and PasteSpecial is Range?

[JohnKauffman]

VBA:
On a theoretical or speculative level, can anyone explain why .Paste is a method of Worksheet but .PasteSpecial is a method of Range? It seems both should be within the same.
Thanks.

Lots of views, no replies. Anyone have a guess? Doesn't have to be a discourse - just a sentence with an idea.

I don't think there is a 'theory' as such.

Perhaps it something to do with what you can paste and where you can paste to.
