This is a simple tool that will simply execute a program with different privileges. The program will be exceuted directly and not run as a child, like su and sudo does, which avoids TTY and signal issues

I think this new description helps inform users why hadolint is different that the other linters in the same section. Removed the language it was written in as I don't consider that as a feature of the tool.
