I see, thank you. I'm now thinking of a paragraph like this (thank you Emily Shaffer for your guidance in the IRC channel);
Messages from checks to `${if_local_config}` are also printed when the
result is false, which can be confusing. Improve readability by
removing `${if_local_config}` checks and print messages only when a
pager is wanted.
