-You may wish to override `areStatesEqual` if your `mapStateToProps` function is computationally expensive and is also only concerned with a small slice of your state. The example above will effectively ignore state changes for everything but that slice of state.
+You may wish to override `areStatesEqual` if your `mapStateToProps` function is computationally expensive and is also only concerned with a small slice of your state. The example above will effectively ignore state changes for everything but that slice of state. Additionally, `areStatesEqual` provides `nextOwnProps` and `prevOwnProps` to allow for more effective scoping of your state which your connected component is interested in, if needed.
 
 This would likely impact the other equality checks as well, depending on your `mapStateToProps` function.
