You may be right about that.  But many of the people who read our
manual are not native speakers of English.  The ambiguity may take
some work for them to figure out.

(This is why I object when "they" is used for a singular antecedent.
If there is another possible antecedent which is plural, it takes work
to figure out which meaning is intended.)
