Well, it doesn't refer to "frequently", or "more often". It just says:
Doing x can lead to y.
While that statement doesn't imply anything about other things that
can lead to y, a lot of people will take that for granted --
especially if the docs don't mention anything else that might produce
y.
I'll write up something and send it to -patches...
Cheers,
Neil
