Well that may have been written regarding the difference in international pitch standards (maybe). In Germany they still use a pitch standard of A=445. You'd think that's just a matter of using a shorter barrel but once you get to a certain point you experience the very phenomenon that is referred to above. Same reason why you can't just pull way out to play your Bb like an A clarinet.


You may get the idea if you have a tuner with adjustable pitch center. Do the reverse. Pull the barrel out to just about falling off the top joint. Now tune the tuner to a specific note (like open G). Then play the rest of the instrument and see where the anomalies crop up.


Karl Leister (retiree of the Berlin Philharmonic) has two pair of Wurlitzers (at least). One pair is pitched at A=445 the other for A=440 for when he tours outside Europe (and plays with American ensembles for example). The difference is bigger than many appreciate.
