NautilusScriptsHowto wiki page errors

On the wiki page NautilusScriptsHowto
(http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/NautilusScriptsHowto), some of the
scripts are written as:

for I in `echo $*` ...

what is the point of using `echo $*` - would not just a $* on its own do
the same thing?

Then there's the fact that this will also not work with files with
spaces in the filename.

I would think that all occurrences of $* should be replaced with "$@".

Am I missing something obvious (or maybe subtle)?
