Which part of TFM says that TLS bypasses greylisting?

This part in Chapter 14 Using TLS?

"Using the "tls" clause, an ACL could match any email that succeeded 
TLS check in sendmail (STARTTLS giving "verify=OK"). This assumes 
you already have TLS working in sendmail."

I don't know whether a spammer can use STARTTLS or not.  I don't 
consider STARTTLS verification to be equivalent to SMTP 
authentication.  I don't see any justification to equate the two 
processes.
