That wouldn't help on Mac OS:
$ ls -l /bin/sh /bin/bash
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 618448 Mar 18 22:04 /bin/bash
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 618512 Mar 18 22:04 /bin/sh
Although /bin/sh is neither a hard link nor a symbolic link to
/bin/bash, nor is the file size the same, it is nevertheless Bash (in
some form or another).
