Remember the (in)famous quote "...that vulnerability is purely
theoretical..."?
I think the point is you don't use $language to split a bunch of fields,
and then pipe them back through /bin/sh without making sure they're not
malicious.
Doesn't matter that you can't think of a way to make them malicious ..
somebody else will find one. It's safer to just assume it'll happen and
always sanitize variables before you {do_stuff;} with them.
