I think they mean that email can be easily misunderstood. I've had that experience as well. People have various levels of reading comprehension, plus you can write something one way which can be interpreted a different way because the reader can't tell what your tone is. I remember writing a note as a teenager I thought was dripping with sarcasm, only to have the recipient think I was being genuine (I was being a little punk at the time so that was for the best but still).
