CSVs exported from Excel normally contain a byte-order-marker at the beginning of the file. It manifests as the first column header having invisible characters at the start of it, which will mean that it'll look like "handle" in your console but won't actually be equal to "handle" due to the invisible characters.

There's some info on the issue here: https://estl.tech/of-ruby-and-hidden-csv-characters-ef482c679b35

It's kind of annoying to tell clients to open their CSVs in Numbers.app or Google Sheets and export them from there.
