The last added paragraph says (emphasis mine):

+The default metaphor for _picking_ is that you're pulling colored
+marbles out a bag and then putting them back. (For "picking without
replacement" see C<pick> instead.)
+Rolling requires no temporary state.

This is confusing to me. It is supposed to be describing the _roll_
method (as evidenced by the last sentence). Why does it mention the
default metaphor for _picking_ instead of the default metaphor of
_rolling_?
