It is indeed confusing.  I request that this be changed.

It would be much better to mention it up front.  "There are two 
primary Info readers: `info', a stand-alone program designed just 
to read Info files (*note GNU Info: (info-stnd)), ..."

By the way, in the third paragraph of 'info info' the command `h' is 
mentioned for the programmed instruction sequence, but this isn't 
correct any more for the current standalone Info reader, which uses 
`H' for that.
