What does the Scorpion Whip mean by "It deals lethal damage, even to creatures with armor bonuses."

"It deals lethal damage, even to creatures with armor bonuses."
This line honestly confuses me more than the line about treating it as a whip...
I have no idea where to even start on this one. Is this just for clarification in comparison to the normal whip? Then why not just say it "does lethal damage?" Is it saying that is ignores armor/DR? Armor bonuses aren't DR so that makes no sense.

As a whip cannot deal damage to creatures wih armour bonus, this is merely saying a scorpion whip is not so restricted.

It's just a clarification, nothing more. If it didn't have that clause, people would default to the Whip description to determine who it could and could not hurt.
