ORAC are you deliberately trying to alarm people or something?
Those words are on the page, but right below them are a bunch more words saying that the children born abroad of such people (British Citzens by descent) may well be elegible to obtain citizenship simply by filling in a form and paying some fees.
There's a link and everything. Why are you omitting that from your quotes?

A child who is not a British citizen may be entitled to be registered as a British citizen.
