Code speaks truth, you're correct. However, there's some contradicting documentation.
>From >http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--system--system.api.php/function/hook_form_alter/7: "For each module (in system weight order) the general form alter hook implementation is invoked first, then the form ID specific alter implementation is called." >From >http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--hooks--core.php/function/hook_form_FORM_ID_alter/6: "Note that this hook fires before hook_form_alter(). Therefore all implementations of hook_form_FORM_ID_alter() will run before all implementations of hook_form_alter(), regardless of the module order." Unfortunately, Google returns the former link first, which must've been what I learned from.
