The point of that sentence is that the example preceding it shows a situation where one might think to use a \h to insert horizontal space. That sentence is pointing out a drawback of \h in that context, compared to the fiddling-with-.ss approach used in the example. So the sentence does make sense there; its relation to the example just isn't explicitly spelled out. It might be clearer for it to say, "Note that such space could instead be created using \h, but the \h escape produces unbreakable space."
