The official documentation isn't likely to be changed to instruct people
how to incorrectly set up their system.

It may be that there is a deficiency in the pg_dump documentation if you
are expected to know something from another part of the manual that it
may not be obvious that you should know. In that case the answer is
to refer to the other section or to include enough information to
avoid needing to refer to the other section.`
