A semantic observation (probably unrelated to the aforementioned editing):
"... dot in ..." might be more clearly stated as "... source ( or '.') in ..." because the action is to source the script into the current shell (thus retaining the defined vars), as opposed to executing the script in another shell or in a subshell (thus the var definitions are lost when the shell or subshell exits).
