[R] aov documentation page: question

[AJ Smit]

Dear all

I was looking at the aov documentation page and came across the 
following which seems like a contradiction to me:

" This provides a wrapper to |lm| for fitting linear models to balanced 
or unbalanced experimental designs." (I presume 'This' refers to aov)

and

"|aov| is designed for balanced designs, and the results can be hard to 
interpret without balance"

So, do I use it for unbalanced designs?

Thanks,
AJ
