[Boost-users] [preprocessor] ADD efficiency / documentation?

This documentation is self-contradictory:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/preprocessor/doc/ref/add.html

"This macro is the most efficient when x is less than or 
equal to y.  However, the efficiency gain is not worth 
actually comparing the two arguments prior to invocation. 
In other words, x should be the addend that is most likely 
to be the largest of the two operands."

The first sentence says we want (x <= y); the last sentence 
says we want (x > y).  Which is it? :-)
