Thanks for the clarification - I've edited it as such. That also brings
up a good point to highlight that COPY is not just for loading (since my
bias is to do loads these days :) Now it reads:

[`COPY`](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/sql-copy.html) is used to
efficiently bulk load and export data from PostgreSQL, and now with
PostgreSQL 17 you may see up to a 2x performance improvement when
exporting large rows.
