Do you want to read that man page again? Or perhaps just those two sentences.
The direct route will be taken unless you are very, very serious, take a good aim,
brace yourself, and then explicitly shoot yourself in the foot. You can do it, but you
probably wouldn't want to do it again.
That course of action was not a part of the thread. Your interpretation of the manual
is wrong.
