I see what you mean.  This text:

  Administrators (including roles that have the CREATEROLE privilege)
  can GRANT these roles to users and/or other roles ...

  Administrators (including roles that have the CREATEROLE privilege and have been
  granted the predefined role with the ADMIN option)
  can GRANT these roles to users and/or other roles ...
