Oh, you're right — I didn't read the text closely so I missed the
context. And of course, nothing affects the configuration except for
people.

Reverted with commit e51c91aba62f3da3b51e5da3cc774a652e721855

This sense of 'effect' is relatively rare, so I'm not surprised we made
this mistake :)

I'd bet that most people who learned English as their first language do
not know it.
