I reported this confusion to Intuit in 2020 and its still there for 2021. Clearly, those that do the QC do not know what they are doing or they assume that the user is a CPA with complete tax knowledge. Your point is correct, and this area needs to be cleaned up. Wording matters and assumptions have no place in a tax program.
This forums is run by Intuit and we should be able to report issues and have them addressed by Intuit quickly. I reported a similar issue I could recreate. One about how their implementation was unclear. I have yet to have a acknowledgement.
Mostly those that respond answer their own question and not the one asked. Keep at it.
