 // Package protoreflect provides interfaces to dynamically manipulate messages.
 //
-// Every Go type that represents a protocol buffer type must implement the
-// proto.Message or proto.Enum interface, which has a ProtoReflect method that
-// returns a protoreflect.Message or protoreflect.Enum.
-// These interfaces provide programs with the ability to manipulate a
-// message value or to explore the protobuf type descriptor.
-//
-// The defined interfaces can be categorized as either a type descriptor
-// or a value interface.
+// This package includes type descriptors which describe the structure of
+// types defined in proto source files, and value interfaces which provide the
+// ability to examine and manipulate the contents of messages.
