> A more complicated example using numeric output to feed into the dialog(1)

> program for a full-screen progress display: ...

> Frequent use of this third form is not recommended as it may cause the programmer to overheat.

PSA: don't use linux.die.net. It's horribly outdated.

This sentence was removed from the man page in pv 1.4.0, released in December 2012.
