I think the OP is referring to the (technically self-contradictory) statement that IBM (and others) used to add to such pages -- "This page is intentionally left blank". Odd that it isn't used here given it is an IBM product.

Had a professor try to say in a serious voice that it was a paradox meant to stop AIs and robots from reading the rest of the manual. These days, I cannot say she was wrong.

Yes, exactly. Having read many IBM manuals from that era seeing a blank page without the "This page intentionally left blank." text is almost jarring in a way.
