Under CN IV Damage, shouldn't it say head tilts away from the side of the lesion instead of "toward" TIA!

Under CN IV Damage, shouldn't it say head tilts away from the side of the lesion instead of "toward" TIA!

As far as I can see, the FA16 entry is saying it's exacerbated by ipsilateral head tilt. Later in the same sentence, it says 'may present with compensatory head tilt in the opposite direction'.

Tilts away from the affected eye to compensate, but towards the affected nerve since it decussates.
