"Isolate" means non-overlapping. But the control-plane and data-plane are generally separated. And in all architectures, when one depends on the other, you have to question how isolated the planes really are. The statements made in the intro document are general and not detailed, so it is not contradicting what we defer to as more detail in RFC 6830.
