I know what you mean. I've been burned by incorrect documentation in the past.

In the first paragraph under item 5.6 on page 27 of Revision 2.1 (dated May
2006) of the TS-7250 manual (ts-7250-manual-rev2.1.pdf)

"To maintain 12-bit accuracy, the analog signal being measured must have a low
source impedance (less than 10 ohms)."
