It's usually easy to modify what things a one-liner operates on. That "pass parameters" point for a script maybe should be "you want to package it up for simple use later". I've written "one-liners" that include defining a shell function and calling it. Although now that I think about it, that one has settled down after several iterations and I should put it in a script.
