I'm certain they used the same language last year because Mike Betts and I have had this discussion a few times. Last year we came across similar comments at the end of build season that made us question whether or not the Q&A was binding. In the end we decided as we usually do if we feel a Q&A response is relevant to something we did we will have it printed in hand so that we can make sure the apporpriate "guidance" is available to an inspector.
