Steps to reproduce
PS> function foo {param ( [ValidateLength(0,2)]$bar)
>> $bar
>> }
PS> foo "11111"
foo: Cannot validate argument on parameter 'bar'. The character length of the 5 argument is too long. Shorten the character length of the argument so it is fewer than or equal to "2" characters, and then try the command again.
PS>
It seems the author meant something like The character length of the "bar" argument is too long at 5 characters. Shorten the character length of the argument so it is fewer than or equal to 2 characters
but it has become "the number of chars argument" and 2 is wrapped in quotes.
Expected behavior
PS> function foo {param ( [ValidateLength(0,2)]$bar)
>> $bar
>> }
PS> foo "11111"
The character length of the "bar" argument is too long at 5 characters. Shorten the character length of the argument so it is fewer than or equal to 2 characters`Actual behavior
