Untrue.

As a prosecutor (and former defense counsel) I have had the ability to
invoke such language...not often but when you need it its good to have.

It also has to do with discovery and privilege.  Both legal "terms of art"
with specific rules depending on the jurisdiction.

Anyway, I'd cut her some slack.

They're so often contradictory (or, as in this case, used in nonsensical
situations) that I suspect they have no actual legal standing at all,
making them a useless annoyance.
