This wording goes back to r54491, from issue882297. Facundo writes
# If the socket is in blocking mode, it can NOT have a timeout.
# I fixed the docs, and made that explicit.
so I don't think he really meant to equate the two. I'm not a native
speaker (of English), so I'll refrain from proposing an alternative
wording.
