Typo in tutorial number 2?

While reading tutorial number 2 I found something a bit contradicting and I think it might be a typo. It says that, for a large number of neurons, it is more efficient to specify connectivity directly that through a condition. Is it not the other way around?

"You can also use the generator syntax to create connections like this more efficiently. In small examples like this, it doesn't matter, but for large numbers of neurons it can be much more efficient to specify directly which neurons should be connected than to specify just a condition. Note that the following example uses `skip_if_invalid` to avoid errors at the boundaries (e.g. do not try to connect the neuron with index 1 to a neuron with index -2)."

Ok, nevermind. I think I understand. Maybe it's a bit confusing though. I interpreted it as if it was more efficient to hardcode the connectivity, but you are referring to the generator syntax.
