Me neither. I wonder how many other long term users (I have used pgsql
for more than a decade - 6.2 was my first version if memory serves)
and have never caught that nuance either.

Maybe that should be printed as a note on the "narrative description
pages".. something like: "Note this is a simplified introduction to
the subject. For authorative description please see topic x in section
y (and link to it of course ;))
