-     * The {@link JSONB} type uses a normalised representation of the JSON
-     * content, meaning that two equivalent JSON documents are considered equal
-     * (see {@link JSONB} for details). This impacts both behaviour and
-     * performance!
+     * While the {@link JSONB} type uses a normalised representation of the JSON
+     * content to compare contents with {@link #equals(Object)} or
+     * {@link #hashCode()}, the {@link #toString()} method is exempt from this
+     * normalisation as the {@link #data()} value might be different despite two
+     * values being considered equal. Examples of such differences include
+     * numeric precision of values <code>2.0</code> or <code>2.00</code>, which
+     * are considered equal, but aren't the same.
