The docstring above says the same:

  "the window that was selected before calling this function
   will remain selected"

> regardless of which other window were selected after the
> 'display-buffer'.

These clarifications could be added to the docstring as well:

  "the window that was selected before calling this function
   will remain selected regardless of which other windows
   were selected later with other calls of 'display-buffer'."
