     `_validate_path_component`, or `_validate_path_component` is buggy.

-        func: The `MediaFilePaths` method to wrap. The method may return either a single
-            path, or a list of paths. Returned paths may be either absolute or relative.
+        relative: A boolean indicating whether the wrapped method returns paths relative
+            to the media store directory.
 
     Returns:
-        The method, wrapped with a check to ensure that the returned path(s) lie within
-        the media store directory. Raises a `ValueError` if the check fails.
+        A method which will wrap a path-returning method, adding a check to ensure that
