Latest ensures if you used it before it won’t use the old version. npm create otherwise will always use the starter script that you last used, which isn’t what you want in this case. You always want the latest if you’re starting a new project. For the first time you can leave it off, but it’s safer just to recommend always using it to avoid confusing stale create script problems down the road.
