Polar Grid Tool - Video Correction Needed

Just a comment, rather than a question:

There's a point in this video when he's going over the line tools, and when talking about the polar grid tool, he says that the lines from the center to the outside of the circle are the "concentric" and the circles within circles lines are the "radial". It's actually the opposite. You can test this by clicking on the white board, and setting the radial to zero. You'll just get a set of lines with "concentric circles" aka concentric dividers (no radial dividers) in them. And conversely, you can test the radial dividers by setting it to 5, and setting concentric dividers to 0.

Here's an image that demonstrates that:

And one other note: Just have to remember your geometry. The Radius is a line going from the center of a circle to the outer edge of the circle, which is why they called them "Radial Dividers".
