the point is that Todd isn’t in an offside position when he receives the ball

That’s why it doesn’t need the statement you’re looking for.

The wording you’re reading there is a situation where the player is offside and receives the ball from an opponent passing it deliberately. Like a short back pass for example

        But Todd did get an advantage (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Dec 30, 10:27:46
        
        He didn’t - that’s the point of the example (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Dec 30, 10:55:49
        
        The touch referred to is the FIRST touch, not the Pukki pass (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:30:30

        It's not referring to the second pass (NCFC) - jamesward, Dec 30, 10:26:05
