Worswick, C.J.
(concurring in the result)—I am not convinced that the result follows from the language of the statute, or that Department of Labor & Indus, v. Kinville, 35 Wn. App. 80, 664 P.2d 1311 (1983) can be so easily distinguished. However, I am satisfied that Kallos v. Department of Labor & Indus., 46 Wn.2d 26, 278 P.2d 393 (1955) *577is indistinguishable and is controlling. Whether Kallos is right or wrong, it is understandable in the context of this arcane area of law in which the wish, not the statute, is frequently the father of the decision. I concur in the result.
