 It is not a coincidence that `observable.subscribe` and `subscribe` in `Observable.create(function subscribe(observer) {...})` have the same name. In the library, they are different, but for practical purposes you can consider them conceptually equal.
 
-This shows how a `subscribe` calls are not at all shared among multiple Observers of the same Observable. When calling `observable.subscribe` with an Observer, the function `subscribe` in `Observable.create(function subscribe(observer) {...})` is run for that given Observer. Each call to `observable.subscribe` triggers its own independent for that given Observer.
