I think name needs to be quoted here? In fact, unless the pause group is
highly unlikely to ever get a key that contains a dash, it should either
be quoted in the horrible way the else branch does it, or do this much
more readable thing instead:

jq --arg name "$name" '.[].statistics[$name]'

Since you are touching this line -- can you fix the missing quoting,
please?
