If you and ah_clem are both puzzled then I agree that the explanation is not very clear.

However, as for the specific line you quoted, I interpreted it to mean that you can't just look at your options and pick the roll that you would most prefer if the rest of the game were to play out like normal backgammon. For example you can't count shots in the conventional manner. You have to take into account what your opponent is going to do next turn under the new rules, and so on recursively.
