David, I think you missed the part where the hypen was the first character
of the filename, not the only character.
$ touch -file
touch: illegal option -- i
usage: touch [-acfm] [-r file] [-t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]] file ...
$ touch -- -file
$ rm -file
rm: illegal option -- l
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRrvW] file ...
unlink file
$ rm -- -file
