Hello, the content accessed via 'h' (the info.info file) is maintained
in Emacs. Maybe one of their developers could change the text?

(info)Help-^L

   You have just learned a considerable number of commands.  If you want
to use one but have trouble remembering which, you should type '?',
which displays a brief list of commands.  When you are finished looking
at the list, make it go away by typing <SPC> repeatedly.

>> Type a <?> now.  Press <SPC> to see consecutive screenfuls of
   the list until finished.  Then type <SPC> several times.  If
   you are using Emacs, the help will then go away automatically.
   If you are using the stand-alone Info reader, type 'x' to
   return here.
