Maybe they are taking other languages into consideration. For example, to someone with a PHP background, this looks like a property:
my $foo = $obj->bar;
This looks like a method:
my $foo = $obj->bar();
I think the parentheses universally indicate a function or method, so that might be what they mean by clarity.
