Confused by the FAQ on Afflictions

What does it mean by uncontrolability after activation? Isn't it canonical that the Afflictor controls afflicted Advantages?

I don't believe so. Old forum threads indicate that being able to end an affliction early would be an enhancement (+10% seems to be the hive wisdom), and basic says explicitly that the subject of an afflicted advantage isn't under control of the advantage.
