Having worked at very big successful companies and being heavily involved in the hiring process: We know recruiters don't always get it right. We need them, because creating and maintaining hiring pipelines is a full-time job, but we know (and the recruiters should also know!) that they're working on a best-understanding of the job they're recruiting for, and that best-understanding is not a complete understanding, since they don't do that job. It might have been a miss on their understanding of an explanation, it might have been a miss on whoever communicated the job requirements to them. But if you have a contact outside of the recruiter, you should 100% reach out.
