I think the message is very clear: "I'm trying to manipulate Google's rankings for my urls."

Yeah, it should, but remember at one of the site review sessions at last year's Boston PubCon when Matt Cutts gave positive feedback to a site owner who used nofollow on contact and other incidental pages?

Matt gives out a lot of good, usable information. In this case I think he's just muddied the waters.
