When Gerald Coley wrote that down, he must have meant just that. He wrote it in big red capitals, so he must have REALLY meant it. ANY I/O pin is not equal to SOME I/O pins
By the way If you don't (want to) believe the SRM, why would you trust something said in a forum on the matter? This has come up a few times. You can look it up. If you choose to remain agnostic on the matter you can also just read the Revision A5.2 version of the SRM, where this statement is missing, so you could make a case that you are right.
