 /// ## What it does
-/// Checks for strings that contain f-string syntax but are not f-strings.
+/// Searches for strings that look like they were meant to be f-strings, but are missing an `f` prefix.
 ///
 /// ## Why is this bad?
-/// An f-string missing an `f` at the beginning won't format anything, and instead
-/// treat the interpolation syntax as literal.
+/// Expressions inside curly braces are only evaluated if the string has an `f` prefix.
 ///
-/// Since there are many possible string literals which contain syntax similar to f-strings yet are not intended to be,
-/// this lint will disqualify any literal that satisfies any of the following conditions:
+/// ## Details
 ///
-/// 1. The string literal is a standalone expression. For example, a docstring.
-/// 2. The literal is part of a function call with argument names that match at least one variable (for example: `format("Message: {value}", value = "Hello World")`)
-/// 3. The literal (or a parent expression of the literal) has a direct method call on it (for example: `"{value}".format(...)`)
+/// There are many possible string literals which are not meant to be f-strings
+/// despite containing f-string-like syntax. As such, this lint ignores all strings
+/// where one of the following conditions applies:
+///
+/// 1. The string is a standalone expression. For example, the rule ignores all docstrings.
+/// 2. The string is part of a function call with argument names that match at least one variable
+///    (for example: `format("Message: {value}", value="Hello World")`)
+/// 3. The string (or a parent expression of the string) has a direct method call on it
+///    (for example: `"{value}".format(...)`)
 /// 4. The string has no `{...}` expression sections, or uses invalid f-string syntax.
 /// 5. The string references variables that are not in scope, or it doesn't capture variables at all.
 /// 6. Any format specifiers in the potential f-string are invalid.
