Perhaps explain why it is a good idea in the body of the message?

    Instead of "cat"ting a single file into a pipe, redirect from
    the file to the standard input of the command on the downstream
    side of the pipe.  This is more straight-forward, saves one
    extra process, and often makes the line shorter.

or something like that.
