At the beginning of the ***Targets***, just after the statement  
beginning with "The following variables can be set in this section:",  
the "alerts" are described as:

A comma separated list of alerts to check for this target. The alerts  
have to be setup in the Alerts section. Alerts are inherited by child  
nodes. Use an empty alerts definition to remove inherited alerts from  
the current target and its children.

Then in the Level 1 section that follows a few sentences later, it is  
written for alerts that:

     Comma separated list of alert names

     This variable inherits its value from the parent section if  
nothing is specified here.

So, the first statement says that "use an empty alert definition to  
remove inherited alerts from the current target and its children".  
Then in the section for configured targets it says: "This variable  
inherits its value from the parent section if nothing is specified  
here". These two statements clash, only one can be true. So, what is  
the true statement?
