'If that is so, then why not use double quotes then?'

Because then it would be fragile with respect to double quotes :-)

The problem here is that a string is being built that is then passed to the  
shell
(/bin/sh -c).  It's quite tricky to get all the quoting right when the user  
input can
contain shell metacharacters.  Rather than building a string it can be  
easier and
safer to to pass arguments as an array to exec, this avoids all the shell  
malarky.
