The beginning of that section has a better explanation:
You can use a watchpoint to stop execution whenever the value of an
expression changes, without having to predict a particular place where
this may happen.
What text would you suggest to have there that would have helped you
recognize that this is the feature you wanted? If you were looking
for some specific words or phrases, please tell what they are. This
will allow us to improve the manual.
