Well which is it? The way the user guide reads maven always downloads SNAPSHOT regardless if the local one is younger (compiled more recently therefore younger in age) and in order to prevent this you must build offline. This is in direct conflict with your second sentence that if the local snapshots are newer (compiled more recently therefore younger in age) they are not downloaded.

The documentation (typos included) is correct.
