The first part of this sentence is wrong, and is contradicted by the second part. The default value of the option is t. To turn off using the file dialog box it is sufficient to set the option to nil - regardless of the value of `use-dialog-box'. To turn it on, yes, you need to have both set to non-nil - but that still does not mean that "`use-dialog-box' takes precedence". Just remove the first part of that sentence.
