Potentially confusing statements

[Baribj]

From the Scheduling: setTimeout and setInterval chapter:

The nested setTimeout guarantees the fixed delay (here 100ms).

Also:

Please note that all scheduling methods do not guarantee the exact delay.

Those two statements seem rather conflicting.

Perhaps the first one should be something along the lines of:

The nested setTimeout (under ideal processor conditions) guarantees the fixed delay (here 100ms).

[joaquinelio]

you are right...

but id suggest, given the context, guarantees... "minimun" delay instead of "exact" delay
