Not even if they understand what the command does? (Use another shell.)

I dislike redundant comments, which this seems to be. As code change
and comments don't, those comments end up creating a lot more confusion
than they resolve.

Having clear code is far more important.

It's reasonable to require that someone reading code already knows the
tools being used.

It's not reasonable for code to educate readers on tools being used.
