But the problem isn't that it's imprecise.  It's flat-out wrong.  My opinion 
would be that it's always a bad idea to put wrong information in the 
documentation, especially when it's the first Google hit.  It can lead to all 
sorts of confusion and frustration (as it did for me).  Users are likely to 
assume documentation from any official source is the final word.

If precision is the problem, could it be reworded to be more vague?
