Yeah, I guess this subject gets covered about once a month.
Some players like high action, some like low action. Martin assumes that the new owner will want to have the guitar set up to suit his/her preferences.
Lowering the action by filing high nut slots down, and shaving a high saddle down, is a whole lot easier and cheaper than raising the action by replacing a nut cut too low, and replacing a saddle shaved too low.
