The bash manual says [1]:

        *
                ($*)  Expands to the positional parameters, starting
                from one.  When the expansion is not within double
                quotes, each positional parameter expands to a
                separate word.  In contexts where it is performed,
                those words are subject to further word splitting
and filename expansion.

I think "it is" here is ambiguous. It would be better to use "these
expansions are."
