-A simple assertion test that verifies whether `value` is truthy. If it is not,
-or `value` is not passed,
-`Assertion failed` is logged. If provided, the error `message` is formatted
-using [`util.format()`][] by passing along all message arguments. The output is
-used as the error message.
+`console.assert()` writes a message if `value` is [falsy][] or omitted. It only
+writes a message and does not otherwise affect execution. The output always
+starts with `"Assertion failed"`. If provided, `message` is formatted using
+[`util.format()`][].
+
+If `value` is [truthy][], nothing happens.
 
 ```js
 console.assert(true, 'does nothing');
-// OK
+
 console.assert(false, 'Whoops %s work', 'didn\'t');
 // Assertion failed: Whoops didn't work
+
 console.assert();
 // Assertion failed
 ```
 
-Calling `console.assert()` with a falsy assertion will only cause the `message`
-to be printed to the console without interrupting execution of subsequent code.
