No, it's the same. Where does a string start or end? You can put the
whole buffer into a string.
The original text tried to point out that it picks up a string that
resembles a file name, in particular by calling (thing-at-point 'filename).
I don't have a specific wording to suggest, but it would be nice if your
change (aiming to tell the user that the file name may not exist,
right?) didn't remove that existing information.
