What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Improving scrolling performance with passive listeners

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The code use scroll event as example, but the scroll event can't be canceled. For many years I thought scroll event can be canceled, and need pass { passive: true } to the addEventListener.

What did you expect to see?

Use wheel or touch event as example.
