No, what I wrote is correct.  Some more examples:

[...]> grephistory '<1099685208.635007.16220 at ibm550>'; echo $?
@05010000003F0000002D0000000000000000@
0
[...]> grephistory '<not at there>'; echo $?
grephistory: not found
0
[...]> non_existing '<not at there>'; echo $?
-su: non_existing: command not found
127

Try it yourself.
