That section looks pretty good to me, so you have my apologies.
Some of the sections are much worse, though.  For instance, take a
look at section 18 (Advanced), which is a little bit better than
it used to be but still wrong in many areas.  I asked about
interest in updating the FAQ last April, and the response I got
was that people would accept updates to it, but basically everyone
wanted to focus on the Handbook.  I assumed that this was because
people preferred the layout of the Handbook as a better way to
find information.
