I do not disagree. The point I am making is that people cherry pick advice.
If you see a 70mph limit you do not read on to see if the sign says "unless
it is raining". You drive at 70 anyway
This is Sir Humphrey-ese really.

Don't forget what it goes on to say:
"Arguably you could contact that person by email with a low-key
message to ask them whether they are happy to hear from you by
email in the future. However, before you do so, you must check
with the list broker that the intended recipient has given
consent to receive unsolicited marketing messages by email from
third parties that is cast in terms that are broad enough to
clearly embrace promotional messages from your political party.
Once you have obtained those assurances from the list broker, it
is for you to decide whether that individual would welcome such
contact by email."
