Fine. As I said:
"then please file an Emacs (doc) bug, using `M-x report-emacs-bug'."
I made a suggestion of what to report:
"Explain that the text you cited is not clear to you. In particular,
`readily settable variable' is unclear. What is missing (in the text
you cited) is an explicit reference to _interactive_
setting using `M-x set-variable'."
But that's just a suggestion. It's _your_ bug report; explain the problem as you
see it. help-gnu-emacs is a help mailing list; it is not the place to report
bugs. Use `M-x report-emacs-bug' to report a bug.
The location is indeed section 8.5.1 in the manual `An Introduction to
Programming in Emacs Lisp', that is, Info node `defvar and asterisk'.
