Andrew, you're right, even tho the Codex states:
"A WordPress child theme is a theme that inherits the functionality  
of another theme

the child/parent functions are not really an inheritance, like w/ a  
class or css.
to keep things simple, but still accurate,
i skipped the load sequence details, and just linked to the  
explanation. page now reads:

(A [[Child_Themes|Child Theme]] can have its own <tt>functions.php</ 
tt>. This child functions file can be used to augment or  
[[Child_Themes#Using_functions.php|replace]] the parent theme's  
functions.)
