I agree that it MIGHT cause misunderstanding. But misunderstandings can be discussed and resolved.
Not being warm and fuzzy sounds to me like parents who think it's better to let the infant "cry it out" rather than comfort them so they can trust someone is there. Or day cares who won't let teachers hug the children for fear of allegations (or perhaps even inappropriate activity by some employees). That ignores that there are other ways to guard against the dangers (which are real) without ignoring the needs and paths for growth and healing.
It sounds like a "professional justification" for issues she has.
