Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 Right, in the case of Multisite, this function would return true only if
 the use was that specific role.

 But via the WP codex itself:
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can

 {{{
 Do not pass a role name to current_user_can(), as this is not guaranteed
 to work correctly.
 }}}

 This would also mean if a capability is added that matches the role, there
 won't be confusion within the code as this function would only look at the
 actual roles.
