I think there is general agreement here but your cure is arguably worse than the disease.

A more realistic option would be to at least put "VACUUM FULL" into its own section of the documentation instead of having FULL be an optional modifier to the normal VACUUM command.

Are there other spots in the documentation that misrepresent the situation to our readers?
