IMO, the "NOTE:" in parentheses is probably a later interpolation by an over-worried editor later in development, and the original twist of the dossier was the implied claim that the elves were behind Alduin's attack at Helgen, all to keep Ulfric Stormcloak, their secret asset, from dying. That would have made it a lot clearer to many credulous players that the dossier's contents were probably false.
