I suggest the confusion is because the "argument" at the end is described
as both an argument and also...not an argument. i the first is a bit
redundant.

i suggest including an example, such as:


A `--' (or a single `-') stops bash interpreting further arguments as
options. Any arguments after the `--' are treated as a new command line
that bash will run. For example, 'bash -- ls --help' passes the `--help' to
ls rather than bash.
