If that was actually your concern, you would have asked a question here, 
something like "Can we perhaps clarify this-or-that aspect of the 
docstring".  Instead you brutally changed everything to "improve" it 
according to your own, and only your own, understanding of "improvement".

That's not how things are supposed to happen here, sorry.
