-    The expression after `route.params` chains an _Observable_ operator that _plucks_ the `id` from the `params` 
-    and then chains a `forEach` operator to subscribes to `id`-changing events. 
-    The `id` changes every time the user navigates to a different hero.
-    
-    The `forEach` passes the new `id` value to the component's `getHero` method (not shown)
+    The subscription confirms that there are `params` and, if there are,
+    plucks the `id` from those `params`.
+    It passes the `id` to the component's `getHero` method (not shown) 
     which fetches a hero and sets the component's `hero` property. 
-    If the`id` parameter is missing, the `pluck` operator fails and the `catch` treats failure as a request to edit a new hero.
+    The `getHero` method treats an undefined `id` or `id===0` as a request to edit a new hero.
     
     The [Router](router.html#route-parameters) guide covers `ActivatedRoute.params` in more detail.
