You included no arguments. You only hinted that something is "somehow" more complex and less capable. Analogies usually help people understand things. I don't see why you're offended and obstinate, but you can of cou

I find most of shellcheck's opinions quite arbitrary. Wider shell compatibility is a good reason to use backticks. Avoiding nesting is always possible. Quoting may be a concern in more complex usage. But yes, I know well, and often

Meh on the whole thing. If your eyes aren't both focusing quite right, or you pull the two apart a little bit too much, you will see through binoculars in a figure 8, too. It's a fools errand to take cinematography too literally
