I do not consider above statement logically related to your statement
below. Maybe I have taken it out of context, but I consider that above
statement may apply to `start-process' but not to
`start-process-shell-command' exactly to avoid problems with quoting.

That one has problems with quoting!

Use `start-process' or `call-process'
