Tor browser tells me "A local proxy is needed when connecting through a company, school, or university network"

(This is the help text when I click on the blue question mark next to the proxy setting option.)

This statement is generally false -- a proxy is often not needed in those environments.

Should we change "is needed" to "might be needed"?
