I tried to replay what I could have done, but could not find a way to
miss the topic. Usually, when I read sequencially, I use SPACE key to go
to next page. This cannot miss the section. And since this section
2.4.6.3 is at the same level as 2.4.6.2 I cannot miss it with ‘n’ as
well.
So, I guess, it just slipped from my mind.
