FAQ inaccuracy?

I've been reading over the release notes for M15 and found something I think is inaccurate and would like to verify that here.

For Jace, the living guildpact one of the rulings are:

• If a player has no cards in his or her hand and no cards in his or her graveyard when the third ability resolves, that player won't shuffle his or her library.

701.16e. If an effect would cause a player to shuffle a set of objects into a library, that library is shuffled even if there are no objects in that set.

Based on 701.16e the player would be shuffling a set of object into their library. So it wouldn't matter if the player had zero in both their hand and graveyard, that players library would still be shuffled. Unless there is going to be a change in that rule for M15 that I'm not aware of.

Thanks

FAQ inaccuracy?

Yes, it's a mistake in the FAQ. The library is shuffled.

Apologies for that.
