Constantine, AFAIK, the Vim documentation makes no such claim. It does say that the presence of a vimrc will turn off 'compatible' mode, regardless of whether Vim was started as "vim" or "vi". Likewise, the absence of a vimrc will default 'compatible' to on (unless set otherwise in the system vimrc, etc.).
