What you say would certainly make sense, in which case the documentation on
that part would be flat wrong/incomplete. However, I'm not completely
convinced that this is the case (without examining the code). In particular
I believe that I have experienced rendering differences when depending on
the default number of intervals and explicitly setting intervals to 1. I
should probably cook up a test scene to support this.
