 #### File System Permissions
@@ -560,39 +541,18 @@ There are constraints you need to know before using this system:
 
 * Native modules are restricted by default when using the Permission Model.
 * Relative paths are not supported through the CLI (`--allow-fs-*`).
-  The runtime API supports relative paths.
 * The model does not inherit to a child node process.
 * The model does not inherit to a worker thread.
 * When creating symlinks the target (first argument) should have read and
   write access.
 * Permission changes are not retroactively applied to existing resources.
-  Consider the following snippet:
-  ```js
-  const fs = require('node:fs');
-
-  // Open a fd
-  const fd = fs.openSync('./README.md', 'r');
-  // Then, deny access to all fs.read operations
-  process.permission.deny('fs.read');
-  // This call will NOT fail and the file will be read
-  const data = fs.readFileSync(fd);
-  ```
-
-Therefore, when possible, apply the permissions rules before any statement:
-
-```js
-process.permission.deny('fs.read');
-const fd = fs.openSync('./README.md', 'r');
-// Error: Access to this API has been restricted
