I suspect, but don't know that the language in your QRH was driven by the UAL DC8 accident many years ago where they ran out fuel after trouble shooting a gear problem. They landed a few miles short of the intended runway killing a significant number of pax and crew. It was used as an example for the need of CRM, that up to that time was non existent on many flight decks here in the US. Believe it or not, the QRH is not an FAA approved document, so the operator has considerable leeway in its presentation.
