-	No.
+	For no time at all.
 	Even if <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> were to wait until
 	all readers had completed, a new reader might start immediately after
 	<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> completed.
 	Therefore, the code following
-	<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> cannot rely on there being no readers
-	in any case.
+	<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> can <i>never</i> rely on there being
+	no readers.
