Perhaps instead the verbiage just needs to be changed to, e.g.,

“The implementation in this class simply invokes {@link #write(byte[],int,int) write(b, 0, b.length)}.”

which appears to correspond to the description

Implementation Specification. This is where the default implementation (or an overrideable implementation in a class) is specified. [1]

Thanks,
