Theo was merely inviting you to try to fix the documentation bug
by figuring out how it works, then sending a patch.  Many people
think they are unable to read code, but actually manage to when
they try.

In OpenBSD, we generally encourage active participation, learning
by doing, learning from reading manual pages, learning from reading
code, and trying to fix those bugs yourself that you care about most.

Yours,
  Ingo
