You're addressing different lines but I am saying this line is inaccurate, 
right?


-f FILE        True if file exists and is a regular file.


Is there really a simple regular file test existing?



> test: test [expr]
    Evaluate conditional expression.
    
    Exits with a status of 0 (true) or 1 (false) depending on
    the evaluation of EXPR.  Expressions may be unary or binary.  Unary
    expressions are often used to examine the status of a file.  There
    are string operators and numeric comparison operators as well.
    
    The behavior of test depends on the number of arguments.  Read the
    bash manual page for the complete specification.
