The specific part of text being removed sounds as"in order to set
the
size of a frame in pixels, ", which explains what happens when
variable
is non-nil.
However, if you read both of two paragraphs of documentation, you
may
find that the 1st paragraph already explains the technical details
behind the variable, and the "non-nil" word in particular appears
twice.
At that point, if reader came to 2nd paragraph, they probably know
what
Emacs does when variable is non-nil; or at least they know where to
look that up. So, repeating that part again does nothing aside of
wasting one's mental resources used to parse the sentence.
