Before you commit to what you wrote, why not try it yourself first; it's
easy to do, and you will see for yourself whether what you wrote is
true. Start from your working copy of emacs, not a test instance, so
that emacs will have accumulated a nice quantity of data to populate its
various system *-ring and *-history variables, and perform apropos-value
on a common string. Repeat as necessary and see for yourself whether
what you say is true.
