Bug On CUT

[Ar3s]

Hello I am experiencing troubles using  the CUT programme.

I use it this way
echo "a b c"|cut --delimiter=" " --fields=2-

in this example it works all fine, but if I try

echo "a"|cut --delimiter=" " --fields=2-
I have assumed that it would return an empty string
but it returns a

It must hav a good reason but I feel uncomfortable with it ...

Is it normal or is it a bug in the matrix ?
