I agree with Jake's comment, but I think the solution is to remove that Note altogether. This document is a software manual, not a statistics textbook, and as such it should just state clearly what the statistics module does. If someone doesn't know whether they need the mean or the median, they really need to read a more fundamental text before writing their code.
