Man entries about algorithm and paranoid options give conflicting information

[Silejonu]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the manual, but to me it seems like -a and -p contradict themselves:

-a --algorithm=name (default: blake2b)

-p --paranoid / -P --less-paranoid (default)
• -P is equivalent to --algorithm=highway256

Since blake2b and -P are default, but -P is highway256, then both blake2b and highway256 should be used, from what I understand.

The (default) is misleading. I think it is supposed to indicate that paranoid mode is not the default, but technically less paranoid isn't either. The levels as written in the code are metro, metro256, highway256, blake2b, and paranoid, with blake2b being the default.
