Comment:
I don't think an example is necessary, but I'm not sure about the current phrasing either. Might try to rework this entire section so it can fit in more naturally.

I definitely agree with you that a one line explanation won't help too much with making the intention clearer, I closed the PR because I misread and thought you were currently in the process of rewriting the whole section. I can reopen and try to mess with the language a bit if we want a quick fix!
