It's true it was vague and misleading,

/bin is not the standard place to look for "sh" as far as the
"POSIX" standard is concerned. That doesn't mean that standard
commands (POSIX or not) cannot be found in /bin. But /bin/sh has
been made a non-standard place for "sh". It's the "legacy"
place. Those commands that have not undergone non-backward
compatible changes with POSIX can still be found in /bin, the
others are to be found in /usr/xpg<x>/bin (for the standard
versions).
