    That applies to people who already know what "createStream" does. But think 
about the people who is looking at KafkaUtilsl forthe first time, and happens 
to look upon this method first. Unless the first sentence conveys what this 
does, they will get extremely confused. 
    
    As a developer I think the question i need answering first is "what does 
this do". "what does this do different from the other one" comes second, and 
only after I know what this one does.
