In (info "(emacs) Safe File Variables")
File-local variables can be dangerous; when you visit someone else’s
file, there’s no telling what its local variables list could do to your
Emacs. Improper values of the ‘eval’ “variable”, and other variables
^ ^ please remove the
quotes on “variable”.
such as ‘load-path’, could execute Lisp code you didn’t intend to run.
(Or is there really is a variable variable, link something to it.)

It's in quotes because it isn't really a variable, it's a function
call in disguise.
