Rick;
I can send them a note. I don't about it being "pithy" but the documentation
should be complete and correct at least.
Regards;

Yes, the man page should reflect the command better but the man pages
are often maintained by someone other than the maintainer of the command
itself. In this case it appears that they ARE done by the same folk
(Canonical, Ltd.), so they should probably get a bug report. The man
page does have a link:
Report bugs at
https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+bugs
If you have a chance, perhaps you should send them a pithy little note
about it.
