In my opinion, you're both correct.
But, this sentence can be easier to understand:
Two-node clusters are a special case. Because a
two-node cluster only needs two nodes to establish quorum, the only
way to add a third node is to shut down the cluster, add the third
node into your /etc/cluster/cluster.conf file (either by hand or 
system-config-cluster), copy it into the newly joined cluster, and restart 
all of the nodes. (the two_node="1" will be removed automatically by 
system-config-cluster).
