I think this rabbit hole is too deep for this part of the man page.  We
need a short sentence that's obvious to the reader, not a diatribe on
how the linux kernel works.

I'm happy with something like "The resulting data is read when the
program starts." regardless of how ambiguous or technically incorrect it
might be ;-)
