Re: [webauthn] Incorrect "to create" phrase used in get() section's introduction? (#1687)

Ok, let me try to better explain why I'm thinking it might still be technically correct... :smile: 

> they are not discussing credential creation

Indeed, but what you mean here is "credential _source_ creation". An assertion is also a "credential" as defined by CredMan, so creating an assertion is indeed creating a "credential" (but not a "credential _source_").

All that said, even if it is _technically_ correct it may well be worth changing the wording to avoid confusions like this one. :smile: The paragraph in question might be the only one that breaks the within-WebAuthn convention that "credential creation" actually means "credential _source_ creation".
