Setting ‘Menus discovery duration’ to 0 does not disable menu discovery

Sorry if I'm uninformed, but what does the "Menus discovery duration" do?

That is the time in when menus are shown in the menu bar when an application is opened.

I confirm :)

I can confirm, but I need to ask-- shouldn't the expected result of changing this setting to 0 set the discovery time to unlimited, thus disabling menu discovery?
