I know Firefox and Chrome will try http: and if that fails try https before failing. Not sure about Microsoft browsers, try not to use them.
But I think what is being referred to is, it's easy to program a website to auto-redirect http: to https: within the code inside the site. And is what is being assumed here.

This sounds as if it should be true, but it is not.

Perhaps it would be helpful to have the link the same as the actual target URL?
