Silly little thing that bothers me

Hi everyone. Just to lighten the mood around here, I thought I'd share a little semantic issue that appears on several law school websites that annoys me a bit:
Several of the status checker sites says something along the lines of: "Please allow 10-14 days after a decision has been mailed before contacting the admissions office." Is it just me or does it make little sense to include a range here? If they're saying it could take as many as 14 days for the mailing to reach you, shouldn't they just say "Please wait 14 days" before contacting them?
Good luck to everyone on their admissions decisions!
