[O] won't emacs kick into org mode for any file with a ".org" suffix?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  currently working my way thru the manual and section 1.3,
"Activation", explains how to add a line to your .emacs file to
guarantee that any ".org" file will open in org mode.

  but as far as i can tell, as long as org-mode is installed, that
will happen, anyway, won't it?  i've tested it with an empty .org file
and i get org mode automatically.

  isn't it worth mentioning that?  or am i misreading something?
