Please have a look at the hyperlink I provided in my earlier post to find out more. Thank you!
The downgrading is a vital part (more precisely: the first step) of the jb procedure. And this can't be done if the device is already running a fw > 5.8.7.0.1 ...

So your statement is partially wrong: If still on 5.8.7(.0.1), it can be jailbroken. But if on fw 5.8.8 and above: no chance. Except that very special case with the one and only 5.8.9.0.1 that may be found on some devices now selling via non Amazon stores.
