I am aware. 'man dash' better describes how aliases should be
used in modern times, so I referred to it to reference an authority
greater than my own personal opinion.

'man bash' avoids this clear language, which is unfortunate
because that advice is what anyone who knows what they are
doing will advise.

So, my point was made intentionally, not coincidentally.
Thanks for drawing attention to that ambiguity in my message.
