You're right, and I missed that page when searching the wiki. That said, even if I had read that paragraph, I'm not sure I would have connected it with the question I had above. As I mentioned before -- it's easy to forget that for some people this is isn't at all obvious. I can point to a whole bunch of SavedVariables questions on this forum which would have been more easily answered by simply saying "Oh, it's a global - just use that."
Nor would I have learned a lot of other interesting tidbits (and raised a lot more questions in my head) if I hadn't investigated further. Right now, for example, I'm looking at the corruption issues with too many entries in the file -- some very quirky behavior there.
