Chad typo on Epoxidation?

I noticed on Chad's OChem reaction sheet for Electrophilic Addition Reactions...it says the Epoxidation reaction results in only 1 product...with anti stereoselectivity. This cannot be correct. It should result in only 1 product with SYN stereoselectivity, right? I'm guessing it was a typo, but can someone clarify?
I mean...the product (not an intermediate) contains a 3-membered ring with an Oxygen. There is no physical way that it can be Anti, since this is a 1 step reaction...that does the "Butterfly Mechanism." (it's on wikipedia, but basically the peracid and the alkene make a epoxide in 1 single step).
So...should the stereoselectivity be Syn or Anti?

are you talking about the table?

notice the 2nd step.

1st step converts alkene to an epoxide. which you are correct it is a on step reaction.

2nd step is acid catalyzed hydrolysis. This is what results in the anti addition of OHs

It's anti in that the nucleophile and O- leaving group are anti to each other.

Yes I am referring to the table. I didn't notice the 2nd step because Chad, for some reason, does not go over it...he inadvertently ignored the cleaving of the epoxide by H3O^+

So...after hydrolysis of the epoxide occurs with Anti stereoselectivity...only 2 products can form right?
