@@ -2499,21 +2499,44 @@ This method calls `fn` on each chunk of the stream in order, passing it the
 result from the calculation on the previous element. It returns a promise for
 the final value of the reduction.
 
-The reducer function iterates the stream element-by-element which means that
-there is no `concurrency` parameter or parallelism. To perform a `reduce`
-concurrently, it can be chained to the [`readable.map`][] method.
-
 If no `initial` value is supplied the first chunk of the stream is used as the
 initial value. If the stream is empty, the promise is rejected with a
 `TypeError` with the `ERR_INVALID_ARGS` code property.
