Can someone explain MSDN doc of CFileDialog?

The above documentation states that when enabling OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT, the user is required to supply a filename buffer. The next paragraph states that the buffer cannot be larger than 2048 bytes. The next paragraph explains about setting m_ofn.nMaxFile to the number of bytes in your buffer (presumable a max of 2048). Next comes an example where the size of the buffer is given as "very large number".

I don't know about you but as far as memory goes I don't consider 2048 to be a very large number. So is the limit 2048 or is it a "very large number"? Or does the limit of 2048 refer to something else entirely? What am I missing?

Thanks
