Only in your imagination.  You're adding your own biased internal dialog to the statement.
The actual statement is thus:
"In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes."

STATE DEPARTMENT comments about their own rulings.
They are saying that their rulings aren't relevant to the Constitutional purpose of defining who is and who isn't a natural-born citizen.
Why do you think that is?
Maybe because they are not in the branch of government that makes laws, nor in the branch of government that interprets laws????
Do you know of ANY Constitutional Purpose besides Presidential eligibility that it's necessary to determine if someone is a natural-born citizen? ANY Constitutional Purpose at all?

cognitive dissonance noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The concept was introduced by the psychologist Leon Festinger (1919–89) in the late 1950s. He and later researchers showed that, when confronted with challenging new information, most people seek to preserve their current understanding of the world by rejecting, explaining away, or avoiding the new information or by convincing themselves that no conflict really exists. Cognitive dissonance is nonetheless considered an explanation for attitude change.

How delusional are you?

Already proven false.
To wit:
Secretary of State Frederick Frelinghuysen determined Ludwig Hausding, though born in the U.S., was not born a U.S. citizen because he was subject to a foreign power at birth having been born to a Saxon subject alien father.
Similarly, Secretary of State Thomas Bayard determined Richard Greisser, though born in Ohio, was not born a U.S. citizen because Greisser's father, too, was an alien, a German subject at the time of Greisser's birth. Bayard specifically stated that Greisser was at birth ' subject to a foreign power,' therefore not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Exactly. I've posted A LOT of information that is new to you, and you STILL inexplicably cling to delusional beliefs.
