A bit of an unkind and patronising response

I disagree, citing obvious sources for information should be a reminder that you can often actually find whatever information you’re looking for if you just to search for it.

That may be so but the degree of authority is inappropriate, as is the assumption that OP had not read that document, which leaves a lot of ambiguity.

The problem with tax rules is that they are open to interpretation and if the taxman interprets them differently then you have a real problem. The better answer would have been to ask a tax lawyer if the op is genuinely concerned about this (which they may well be, for instance because they have a substantial amount of value stored that way).
