 These props apply when `rel="stylesheet"`:
 
-* `precedence`: a string. Tells React where to rank the `<link>` DOM node relative to others in the document `<head>`, which determines which stylesheet can override the other. Its value can be (in order of precedence) `"reset"`, `"low"`, `"medium"`, `"high"`. Stylesheets with the same precedence go together whether they are `<link>` or inline `<style>` tags or loaded using the [`preload`](/reference/react-dom/preload) or [`preinit`](/reference/react-dom/preinit) functions.
+* `precedence`: a string. Tells React where to rank the `<link>` DOM node relative to others in the document `<head>`, which determines which stylesheet can override the other. React will infer that precedence values it discovers first are "lower" and precedence values it discovers later are "higher". Many style systems can work fine using a single precedence value because style rules are atomic. Stylesheets with the same precedence go together whether they are `<link>` or inline `<style>` tags or loaded using [`preinit`](/reference/react-dom/preinit) functions.
 * `media`: a string. Restricts the stylesheet to a certain [media query](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_media_queries/Using_media_queries).
 * `title`: a string. Specifies the name of an [alternative stylesheet](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Alternative_style_sheets).
