GL Version check behavior clarification

So if we do GLContext.getCurrentGL().isGLxxx, what exactly is that supposed to be verifying?  That the particular set of libraries is supported?  Or that the requested GL version is/isn't the correct one for the current platform?

I ask because I'm a little confused as to why I'm getting true for isGLES2() on a Linux desktop machine.
