Hmmm. Well, it still implies that there is some mechanism
outside of __getattribute__ that will catch an AttributeError
and call __getattr__ for you. Given the existence of that
mechanism, it seems unlikely that the same thing would be
implemented over again in the standard __getattribute__
method.
So I don't think it requires very much guesswork to infer
that the standard __getattribute__ won't call __getattr__ on
its own.
I concede that the wording could be improved to remove any
possibility of doubt, though.
