I changed the manual, it now says:

`gnus-agent-consider-all-articles'
     If `gnus-agent-consider-all-articles' is non-`nil', the agent will
     let the agent predicate decide whether articles need to be
     downloaded or not, for all articles.  When `nil', the default, the
     agent will only let the predicate decide whether unread articles
     are downloaded or not.  If you enable this, you may also want to
     look into the agent expiry settings (see *note Category Variables::),
     so that the agent doesn't download articles which the agent will
     later expire, over and over again.
