I think the term "debraiding" is ambiguous.
Does it mean remove the shield wires completely, or does it just mean move them away from the foil and center conductor to prevent the possibility of a short and fold them back on the outside of the jacket. To me, the term "debraiding" means remove them completely.
I think the instructions need to be rewritten.
I also think the shield wires should be folded back on the outside of the jacket for two reasons:
1. This makes it easier to insert the foil covered dielectric into the inner tube, and the tube under the braid.
2. The braid males better contact with the shell of the connector to conduct the current for a preamp.
With RG6 that has more than two shield layers, like tri or quad, it is sometimes necessary to remove one or two outer layers to end up with foil and one braid layer to fold back to be able to insert the cable into the connector.

I don't know who might have told Solid Signal otherwise for their review...

My guess would be a Solid Signal employee who has made hundreds of custom length cables with compression connectors.
