CLI: owner change should occur first

Okay, this might be a little OT, but when using the CLI to set ticket attributes, I notice that changing owner is one of the last things to happen.
Logically, shouldn’t this be the first thing to change?
I’m assuming the $Ticket->SetStatus($status) code executes a single query.
Or is it just a pre-Monday-morning-coffee thing?
