That's not what it "just says". The info before it talks about how

optionally, provides the info in Postfix 2.3).
Frankly, the text here kindof rambles and so I'm not certain that it
makes direct linear sense to me. In particular this following quote
says that I missed something:
Sendmail should be putting a "(authenticated bits=0)" line in its
Received header when the user authenticates. SA will automatically
use this to extend the trust path if the header above it is trusted.
Automatically how? Before I added the LOCAL_AUTH_RCVD SA was doing
nothing about that header. Today, I can use the LOCAL_AUTH_RECEIVED
score to decrement the score a bit, but it doesn't extend the trust
path at all.
