Subject: total and auto expiry

Hello.
While reconfiguring my gnus I was confused with
gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups and gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups
descriptions:
From info gnus:
1.
Groups that match the regular expression `gnus-auto-expirable-newsgroups'
will have all articles that you read marked as expirable automatically.
2.
Even more dangerous is the `gnus-total-expirable-newsgroups'
variable. All groups that match this regexp will have all read
articles put through the expiry process, which means that _all_ old
mail articles in the groups in question will be deleted after a while.
Does this mean that the only difference between actions that are taken
over groups matching 'total' and 'auto' it that the former will be
expired even if expiry-wait for it is 'never?
