The manual writer was being silly. The point he or she should have made was that the value was not case-sensitive. For 'no', there are only 2^2 = 4 possible case variants; but for 'yes' there are 2^3 = 8; and for 'maybe' there are 2^5 = 32. Enumeration breaks down very quickly.
I doubt that your sarcastic intent was missed by any reader you would care about, and it is understandable. That said, case independence is a highly desirable attribute in contexts like this one. It should be (but is not yet) the norm, everyone's expectation.
