Shell Definition Property Manager (Direction of Offset)

How is the direction of the software recognized mid-surface for the selection of Offset direction decided? (Under the Shell Definition Property Manager)

The book explains that it is below the selected surface if the Top Surface selection is picked.

This is unclear with a cylinder.

Please, no guesses or side tracked conversations.

To be clear, I believe the book analysis is incorrect, so I'm wondering if I'm misinterpreting this.
