-## A Note About Event Capturing
+## A Note About Event Handling
 
-Shoelace uses event listeners to intercept the form's `formdata` and `submit` events. This allows it to inject form data and activate client-side validation as necessary. The [`capture`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener#parameters) option is used to ensure events are intercepted as early as possible. This means if you're using `addEventListener()` without the `capture` option, you have nothing to worry about.
-
-However, if you're using the `capture` option, you must attach the listener _after_ Shoelace form controls are connected to the DOM. Otherwise, your logic will run before Shoelace has a chance to inject form data and validate form controls.
