[Closed] Intersects does not work with Shapes. Why?

From maxscript help file:

intersects <node> <node>
 
 Returns true if the bounding boxes of the two specified nodes overlap, or false if they do not overlap.
 

But this not work if the two nodes are shapes. Why?

it not work only if bounding box has zero dimension in one of the 3 axis
for example:
for 3D shapes like helix intersects return true values
for flat shapes always false

Thank you.
