OK, you're right, I'm wrong, however your example is the only one I've
seen in ~10 years that describes this alternative.

Yes, it's a difference computation, but the 'man btrfs-send' page
explicitly says incremental which is not the same thing.

Also adding 'btrfs receive' is important to test your example. I've
seen 'btrfs send' succeed where 'btrfs receive' complains.

It's fine to have this alternative explanation. However the existing
'man btrfs-send' page says there are two modes: full and incremental.
