I'm not that google hits count as "appropriate usage", especially when
there are unparenthesized google hits as well, such as

The phrase may be confusing to some, but parentheses are no more
"appropriate" there than a comma.

Changing it is perfectly fine with me; I just wanted to point out that
it's not a typo and that one cannot just remove the "which see" part and
not change meaning.
