I agree. I've said in an earlier post that it would be nice to have both options so that people who know they're not going to use it for awhile can turn it off, recognizing that the trade off is a much slower startup time when they want to use it again.
I suspect that at one point they did plan on something like that, but changed it so that the longer switch would do a reset instead of a shutdown. That's probably why the manual is confusing, it was written before they changed it. Hopefully there's not a technical reason they changed it, and with enough feedback they'll put it back so a long switch does a shutdown (or maybe have a "power off" icon on the menu somewhere).
I do find it a little amusing though that with the iLiad and DR1000 everything they heard was that people hated having to shut it down. Now people are complaining that they can't shut it down.
Having both options would, I think, make most people happy though.
