I agree it is a poor choice of words but from my experience as a software developer I suspect the statement was
  1. written by a technical writer who was/is unaware of the true situation
  2. true at one point in the development process but has been overcome by developmental realities
  3. a victim of the intersection of those who can write good code and those who can write comprehensible English is infinitesimally small
Personally I would place my money on C but it could just as easily been A or B.

Yes, and truthfully I hope it isn't one of my disks that gets messed up.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
