No, I think the discussion is that the lack of /bin/sh may make a
distribution "impure", but the presence of bash is not,in adn of
itself, an indication the presence of /bin/sh.

The two are not mutually exclusive, and the original statement seemed
to say that. Bash doesn't "taint" a system with it's mere presence ;^)
