 ### Rationale:
 
-Most operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD and OS X, allow only a single parameter in the shebang. In the example, `env` will be called with a single parameter -- `bash -x` -- and will therefore fail.
+Most operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD and OS X, allow only a single parameter in the shebang. The example is equivalent to calling `env 'bash -x'` instead of `env 'bash' '-x'`, and it will therefore fail. 
 
 The shebang should be rewritten to use at most one parameter. Shell options can instead be set in the body of the script.
