You're assuming they don't know about `<file.txt ...` That may be the case, but I can still see an argument for "cat" being more natural than "<" in this contex

It’s safe to assume at least one person reading the comment won’t know about the feature, the information is useful to more than that poster. > but I can still see an argument for "cat" being more natural than "<" in this context. You’re also assuming I don’t understand that sentiment. That has nothing to do with my original post. I don’t care what you use, do whatever makes you happiest. I was merely offering an alternative that would still satisfy what I perceived to be the original point (command piping left to right) to share knowledge, I was in no way criticising their method or saying they shouldn’t use it. This is a useless conversation.
