Minor nit:  `<technobable>` is vintage sh. POSIX sh states:

    Command Substitution

    Command substitution allows the output of a command to be
    substituted in place of the command name itself. Command
    substitution shall occur when the command is enclosed as follows:

        $(command)

    or (backquoted version):

        `command`

so $(<technobabble>) is also sh.
