Because you should use "chsh" to change your shell entry in /etc/passwd
to /bin/csh.  Then /bin/csh will be your default shell, eg. when you
log in.  So there's no reason to use start_csh (note they are not saying
don't use c-shell, just don't use start_csh).

If you use start_csh, I believe /com/sh will be your bottom-most shell and
then you will have a layer on top of it which is /bin/csh, which you would
have to exit from before logging out.
