Documentation bug in parent()?

Documentation bug in parent()?

I noticed the following in the documentation for parent() at  http://api.jquery.com/parent/

Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .parent() method allows us to search through the parents of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object from the matching elements.

The   .parents()   and   .parent()   methods are similar, except that the latter only travels a single level up the DOM tree.   

It seems that the first sentence is actually describing the parents() API method, and not the parent() method.
