Thank for you for reading the guide!

Some people will always disagree about what's obvious.
That's not a problem in itself. It only becomes a problem if

I suppose this could be fixed, yes, so if you like please open issue.

I don't think it's a very important bug to fix though because there is

  set -e

on the first line of your script.
