I believe the documentation is correct - less-than is an antisymmetric relation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisymmetric_relation.

<= is antisymmetric. < is asymmetric.

antisymmetric: if a <= b and b <= a, then a = b.

asymmetric: if a < b then not b < a.

Asymmetry is a property of a single relation though, whereas really here we are talking about three related relations (heh). Not sure what the best terminology is there. But yeah, "asymmetric" seems to fit better than "antisymmetric".
