This question comes up about once a week, thus MZ's "They still don't get
it" answer.

This seems to be an annoyingly common question which might not be adequately
explained the the docs. but even still, anyone who searches the list's
archives would see this question over and over and over. (probably about
once a week) Or if anyone was on the list for more than a couple week's
they'd learn without even having to ask. (that was my case)
