I agree.

`(emacs) Major Modes' says
You can explicitly select a new major mode by using an M-x
command. Take the name of the mode and add -mode to get the name of
the command to select that mode (e.g., M-x lisp-mode enters Lisp
mode).
Do you really think it's necessary to explain here how evaluating
(foo-mode) is equivalent to running M-x foo-mode?
`(elisp) Major Modes' says
Major modes specialize Emacs for editing particular kinds of text.
Each buffer has one major mode at a time. Every major mode is
associated with a major mode command, whose name should end in
‘-mode’. This command takes care of switching to that mode in the
current buffer
Do you really think it's necessary to explain how to call a command
from elisp here? The first hit in the index for `command' gives
command
An object which can be invoked via the command-execute primitive,
usually due to the user typing in a key sequence bound to that
command. See Interactive Call. A command is usually a function; if the
function is written in Lisp, it is made into a command by an
interactive form in the function definition (see Defining Commands).
Commands that are functions can also be called from Lisp expressions,
just like other functions.
