The difference is that "do shell script" involves using a scripting language other than Applescript.  In order to use it, you have to know at least one additional scripting language.

True. Begs the question as to what is "pure English" though.

I disagree.  It doesn't beg a question at all because the question is irrelevant, even if you substitute "pure Applescript" for "pure English".

 Actually, it doesn't "beg the question", because "beg the question" doesn't mean "beg or demand that the question be asked", which is how most people use it these days (incorrectly).

I had thought that it meant "avoids the question".
