Document that URL redirects work from node/{nid} but not alias

It seems like it'd be worth documenting somewhere that redirecting from node/{nid} works even though redirecting from the associated alias does not.

It makes sense that URL aliases take precedence over URL redirects, but if you're trying to redirect from an existing node (useful because it allows entity references to that node on other pages), trying to redirect the alias feels like a dead-end with no fix (until you figure out you should use the node/{nid} route).

Did I just miss something?
