Is Shift+Command+Ctrl+3 valid?

Is the following statement correct? "To copy a screenshot so you can paste it somewhere--like in an email or to another device--press and hold the Control key while you press the other keys. For example, to copy the whole screen, press Shift-Command-Control-3." The Control key requirement is confusing me as opposed to just Shift+Command+3.

Adding the control key copies the screen shot to the clipboard instead of saving it to the Desktop.
