Actually once TRIM support becomes common recovering deleted files on SSD will be impossible since the flash blocks will be erased rather than just being left unallocated. I think the man page should changed to state that the file *MAY* be recoverable using forensics. That should be sufficiently clear that it is not a secure erase, but recovery is not at all easy if it is possible at all.
