 ** CAPI3REF: Destroy A Prepared Statement Object
 **
 ** ^The sqlite3_finalize() function is called to delete a [prepared statement].
-** ^If the statement was executed successfully or not executed at all, then
-** SQLITE_OK is returned. ^If execution of the statement failed then an
-** [error code] or [extended error code] is returned.
+** ^If the most recent evaluation of the statement encountered no errors or
+** or if the statement is never been evaluated, then sqlite3_finalize() returns
+** SQLITE_OK.  ^If the most recent evaluation of statement S failed, then
+** sqlite3_finalize(S) returns the appropriate [error code] or
+** [extended error code].
 **
-** ^This routine can be called at any point during the execution of the
-** [prepared statement].  ^If the virtual machine has not
-** completed execution when this routine is called, that is like
-** encountering an error or an [sqlite3_interrupt | interrupt].
-** ^Incomplete updates may be rolled back and transactions canceled,
-** depending on the circumstances, and the
-** [error code] returned will be [SQLITE_ABORT].
+** ^The sqlite3_finalize(S) routine can be called at any point during
+** the life cycle of [prepared statement] S:
+** before statement S is ever evaluated, after
+** one or more calls to [sqlite3_reset()], or after any call
+** to [sqlite3_step()] regardless of whether or not the statement has
+** completed execution.
+**
+** ^Invoking sqlite3_finalize() on a NULL pointer is a harmless no-op.
+**
+** The application must finalize every [prepared statement] in order to avoid
+** resource leaks.  It is a grievous error for the application to try to use
+** a prepared statement after it has been finalized.  Any use of a prepared
+** statement after it has been finalized can result in undefined and
+** undesirable behavior such as segfaults and heap corruption.
