Once again, I'm not involved in any way, so my opinion is irrelevant.
But sure: I don't know Italian slang. However, a project that conducts both itself and its examples in English not being comprehensive about possible meanings in other languages isn't exactly a gotcha. Furthermore, the example is suggesting that you don't pick at random, but instead something that is obviously not a word, like 0x12345678. It's not suggesting that you make something up.
Furthermore, this isn't something about trying to be "absolutely pure" or something. It's a helpful lint to catch common cases. Nothing more, nothing less.
