Bug Description

Section 7.1 suggests that the shell and the terminal are the same.

The terminal provides input and output functionality while the shell processes the user's commands. the uses accesses the shell by means of a terminal. They are two distinct concepts implemented by two distinct programs. A beginner might need a simplified yet factually correct explanation.
