Note: This targets the same sentence as open PR rust-lang#4615 However, in their change, the sentence structure remains Refactoring the sentence will better help clarification Current text contains structural ambiguity where readers could either read it as "We can ... because ..." or “We can define ... as ...” Replacing this with a direct statement removes the ambiguity and provides a clearer explanation that may better aid beginners

"We can define X because X doesn't need Y." is unclear. This would be equivalent to "We can define functions with no parameters because they don't need any input data.", which is confusing.
