Lol, I was afraid of this reply ;-). 

The example should illustrate the idea: a rb is appropriate for alternatives 
(red/green/blue or male/female/unknown - all multiple options - and 
portrait/landscape or details/compact - single choice with non-intuitive 
option) but not if the alternative is obvious (yes/no, apply/don't apply, 
show/hide... - single choice with clear alternative, i.e. you don't need a 
radio button to choose between show and hide because if show is not checked it 
means don't show aka hide).

But I agree, a better wording is very recommenable.
