When you're new, you might not know a pund sign is called a hash, that an exclamation is called a bang. You might not realize it's handled by the OS instead of some part of Ruby. You might not know that it isn't just some comment with special meaning in the same way that Foo#bar is. When you have no context, figuring out what to google for is much more difficult, and when you do find an explanation, it may not make sense because it isn't congruent with the premises in your head. If he had found something explaining it, he might have thought it was talking about something else, because it's talking about executable *nix programs, and maybe he thought it was just a comment. And if he did think it was a comment, what would he google for? "ruby comment exclamation" ? The results aren't as helpful as the query you recommended, but even the query itself assumes knowledge that is elusive to beginners.
