Redirect to controller specific function w/parameters

Oh, I think I see what you mean now. You mean that CI would call the function in the right controller immediately?
That would give all kinds of problems. For instance: what would be the right values for $this->uri? What would happen with caching?
No, if you use redirect() it sends a header() command and completely reloads the page. It's not happening inside CodeIgniter, but basically making a brand new request. And therefore it will always go through .htaccess and all your routes again.
