Code doesn't work

Feedback

First block of example code does not work.
begin block does not have access to value in $LiteralPath when piped to the function it's an empty string.

Get-ChildItem : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'LiteralPath' because it is an empty string.
At line:53 char:49
+             $Files = Get-ChildItem -LiteralPath $LiteralPath -File
+                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still helpful with parameter sets, but code is misleading if trying to figure this topic out.
