Text on Edit Status Page Appears to Be Incorrect

Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.

Platform (Android, iOS, Website): Website

Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) : NA

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages: Choose a status page like https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/49477-Monotropa-uniflora#status-tab and click to edit a status (or add a new one)

Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

For the IUCN equivalent field the page text says:
“This will override the geoprivacy if it is “Least Concern” or below, so if you’ve want to obscure observations of this taxon, set this to “Near Threatened” or above.”

This text appears to be incorrect, however - if the geoprivacy is set to obscured while IUCN Equivalent is set to LC, the geoprivacy will still be obscured (ie, it is not overridden).

I would suggest just removing this statement from the Edit Status page.
