Please avoid changes not related to the issue, we generally try to keep pull requests focused to make them easier to review.
This does not fully resolve this issue, there are several places in the docs where it should be clarified e.g. "object" -> "JSON object"

Again, I think this is a better word, and we don't want to make a separate PR for it, it would be too much churn.

This PR clears up the ambiguity between JSON objects and Python objects in the
