-If a select is not specified, then the entire netmap is used as input. The resulting nodes will be used to actually store objects and they constitute a replica group (or simply, "a replica").
+If a select is not specified, then the entire netmap is used as input. The only exception to this rule is when exactly 1 replica and 1 selector are being present: in this case the only selector is being used instead of the whole netmap.
