Why Mathematica's built-in function 'Pick' does not work properly?

Posted 11 years ago
Does anybody know why something like e.g.
Pick[{c, l, s}, {2, 0, 5}, Except[0]]
does not work?

And by 'does not work' I mean that it returns {c,l,s} when it should have returned {c,s} (right?).

Is it a bug or is it a feature?

   works.   See the link

for a long discussion of the details of Pick.   Others may have a diffferent method and there may be new bits I am not aware of.
