Short description of error
At the top of this page located in the paragraph at DATA-BLOCK MENU > Type, it says you can LMB click and drag the material onto an object in the 3D Viewport. This is confusing because it appears to say by dragging the material onto the object you are assigning that material to that object when in fact what you are doing is assigning the material to the 'material' which is on the object, essentially making the material already on the object a new user of the material dragged. It may be more clear to changed it to say, "you can drag a material onto an object in the 3D Viewport to apply it to it's active material".

Please see attached images to see a visual of what I mean...

Hope this is helpful!

I added a link to the material assignment page to keep the example from becoming all too wordy.
