This was a problem with early versions of the clients; the code
remains in case some other reason causes the poll to hang.
Clarify the docs.

 In each of these cases, an event is published once per minute while the container is idle.
 
-In addition, if the broker is unreachable, the consumer `poll()` method does not exit, so no messages are received and idle events cannot be generated.
-To solve this issue, the container publishes a `NonResponsiveConsumerEvent` if a poll does not return within `3x` the `pollTimeout` property.
+If, for some reason, the consumer `poll()` method does not exit, no messages are received and idle events cannot be generated (this was a problem with early versions of the `kafka-clients` when the broker wasn't reachable).
+In this case, the container publishes a `NonResponsiveConsumerEvent` if a poll does not return within `3x` the `pollTimeout` property.
 By default, this check is performed once every 30 seconds in each container.
 You can modify this behavior by setting the `monitorInterval` (default 30 seconds) and `noPollThreshold` (default 3.0) properties in the `ContainerProperties` when configuring the listener container.
 The `noPollThreshold` should be greater than `1.0` to avoid getting spurious events due to a race condition.
