"You use the word 'and' to say 'If no FILE is given' when this happens, 'recursive searches Examine the working directory' and 'nonrecursive searches read standard input'. This statement is inconsistent with the result of running in terminal.

Not at all. Several FILEs were given in your example:

> $ grep Download dwad dawdwa Downloads Downloads
> grep: dwad: No such file or directory
> grep: dawdwa: No such file or directory
> grep: Downloads: Is a directory
> grep: Downloads: Is a directory

Here 'dwad', 'dawdna', 'Downloads', and 'Downloads' are all FILEs. Since 
it's not the case that "no FILE is given", for your example it doesn't 
matter what the rest of that sentence says.
