[yocto] dev manual explanation for "additional software" seems misleading

[Robert P. J. Day]

  here:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#usingpoky-extend-customimage-custombb

one reads:

"One way to get additional software into an image is to create a
custom image. The following example shows the form for the two lines
you need:

     IMAGE_INSTALL = "packagegroup-core-x11-base package1 package2"

     inherit core-image

  but that's not really *adding* software to an image, is it? it's
totally redefining the contents of an image through the use of setting
IMAGE_INSTALL to *exactly* what you want the image to have, is it not?
it seems like that explanation has the potential for misunderstanding.
