 ### 2.3. Create variables to hold the accessory file paths
 
-Unlike the main data inputs, which must be fed to processes through channels, the accessory files can be handled a bit more simply: we can use the `file()` function to create variables to hold those file paths.
+While main data inputs are streamed dynamically through channels, there are two approaches for handling accessory files. The recommended approach is to create explicit channels, which makes data flow clearer and more consistent. Alternatively, the file() function to create variables can be used for simpler cases, particularly when you need to reference the same file in multiple processes - though be aware this still creates channels implicitly.
 
 Add this to the workflow block (after the `reads_ch` creation):
