+       A linearizable read avoids returning reads from a
+       <emphasis>stale</emphasis> primary (one that has already been superseded
+       by a new primary but doesn&apos;t know it yet). It is important to note
+       that this read concern level does not by itself produce linearizable
+       reads; they must be issued in conjunction with
+       <constant>MongoDB\Driver\WriteConcern::MAJORITY</constant> writes to the
+       same document(s) in order to be linearizable.
