If you simply read the 16th Edition you pick up the principle that I explained to you above.
When you read the Definitions section you become aware that there is still a problem with EEBADS, getting caught with a hazardous live conductor in one hand and an earthed conductive part in the other!
The authors were aware that RCD's were to expensive to insist on at the time, but they knew that EEBADS + RCD's was the answer to the problem. That explains why they used the definitions that they did, assuming that you would be smart enough to understand the basic principle described above!
