The parentheses added here do not help the issue since any Python object can be an element of a Series (even a Series itself can be an element of a Series!). We want to indicate that this method treats lists, tuples, ndarrays, and Series differently from any other Python object. Namely, these types will be evaluated element-by-element whereas every other Python object will be evaluated as a whole against each element of the caller.
