The example is documenting secure-boot=off but the text is covering
secure-boot=on. Rework it to cover both options, but expand on the
text for what I consider the most important case, which is getting
the VM to boot when default policy would reject it.

Drop the bit about firmware autoselection. It's correct but applies
only to old libvirt which should be rarely used these days IMO.
