You only need to prepend dotslash to a filename in order of disambiguate invocations of executables in the the current directory (and not a subdirectory).
This is because bare commands will be looked up in $PATH, rather than among executable files in $PWD.
It strikes me as weird copycat (without understanding) programming to just have it wherever you're referring to a local file. In fact I prefer to invoke `bash foo.sh` rather than `mv foo.sh foo; chmod +x foo.sh; ./foo.sh`. (This assumes that I don't need to rely on something special in the shebang line.)
(I know you could use it for clarity when an argument could look like a string or a file, but I don't think that's usuaully the purpose.)
So I think you and I differ on this one, but none of this is a hill I care to die on.
