Inspec shell's commandor alias -c option does not obey stdout: false reporter option set using config file

Inspec shell command, alias -c option does not obey stdout: false for reporter set using config file

Describe the problem

Created test-config.json as config file with reporter configuration like

{
  "reporter": {
    "json" : {
      "stdout" : false
      "file": "test_path/output-result.json"
    }
}

Ran inspec with the command:
inspec shell -c "platform.params" --config test-config.json

It should ideally print the output to the file, but it does not obey the stdout: false of the config file.

Problem:
It still prints out on the screen and does not write to the file test_path/output-result.json.

Found while using inspec version: 5.22.9

Possible Solution

inspec shell is an interactive tool for debugging. -c option is also used to run single command string without launching the inspec shell which according to me also provided for debugging and as a user I will expect the output of the command should be shown on stdout, so as far as I understand this is expected behavior and not a bug.
