But you can drill a hole bigger with a true Forstner bit.

Internet searches are your friend.

Forstner bits are edge guided, there's no centering point. OK?


He already explained his comment.
Most Forstners have center points.
I had to look pretty hard to find some that didn't.
Maybe they started out without a center, but seems like 90% have them
today.

Both descriptions are correct. A Forsner bit does have a centering
point. It is very useful to position the bit at a hole's center point.
But a Forstner bit is also edge guided, which makes it fairly easy to
enlarge a hole with the next size bit.
