Continuation of #54500. I realized the erroring line is one lower.

The Scope of Variables section of the manual is good and thorough but overwhelming to beginners. This PR is motivated by several questions on discourse ([1](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/best-solution-to-julias-soft-scope-problem/70199/14), [2](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/global-variable-issue/108288), [3](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/why-does-the-soft-scope-warning-not-appear-in-a-nested-loop/72646)) where scoping behavior was an immediate confusion and turn off to using Julia.
