Yes, this has always puzzled me too.

As a student, I thought the explanation in the POH seemed relatively
straightforward.

Yet here we are with people changing "avoid" into "prohibited"
and arguing about how Cessna probably really meant the latter 
when they said the former

Then we change "more than 20 degrees of flaps" into "any flaps"
(I've never followed that argument)

Why can't people
 1) read the POH for the model of C172 they're flying
 2) believe that they meant what they actually said, and not something
    else
 3) behave accordingly -- avoid slips with full flaps, but since
    they aren't prohibited, go up to altitude sometimes and see
    what it does
