initialSelected and initial[v] in Questionnaire

“Use this instead of initial[v] if answerValueSet is present.” quoting from the Comments of Questionnaire.item.answerOption.initialSelected . I wander if it shoud be “Use this instead of initial[v] if answerValueSet is NOT present.”

Because,I found the code below in the example page: http://hl7.org/fhir/questionnaire-profile-example-ussg-fht.xml.html. It means when the answerValueSet is present, I should use the Questionnaire.item.initial instead of Questionnaire.item.answerOption.initialSelected

<item>
    <linkId value="1.1.4"/>
    <definition value="http://loinc.org/rdf#54132-6"/>
    <text value="Were you born a twin?"/>
    <type value="choice"/>
    <answerValueSet value="http://hl7.org/fhir/us/sdc/ValueSet/LL623-0"/>
    <initial>
        <valueCoding>
            <system value="http://loinc.org"/>
            <code value="LA32-8"/>
            <display value="No"/>
        </valueCoding>
    </initial>
</item>

Is this right?

Yeah, that guidance is wrong. It should indeed be “use this instead of initial[x] when declaring answerOptions”

Ideally do a quick scan to see if they might have already been identified, but if not, absolutely.
