The paragraph to encourage use of "--" in scripts belongs to the bullet point that describes the behaviour for a command line without the explicit "--" disambiguation, not a supporting explanation for the entire bulletted list.

    file called HEAD in your work tree, `git diff HEAD` is ambiguous, and
    you have to say either `git diff HEAD --` or `git diff -- HEAD` to
    disambiguate.

 When writing a script that is expected to handle random user-input, it is
 a good practice to make it explicit which arguments are which by placing
 disambiguating `--` at appropriate places.
