Yes, badly expressed personification, I'm afraid. …
Though it does appear that the syslog also expresses this less than clearly:

  netcfg[5552]: WARNING **: Started DHCP client; PID is 5581
  udhcpc: Got IP 192.168.1.14 (using enp3s0) and routing through 192.168.1.1
  netcfg[5552]: DEBUG: Reading domain name returned via DHCP
→
  netcfg[5552]: DEBUG: Reading nameservers from /etc/resolv.conf
  netcfg[5552]: DEBUG: Read nameserver 192.168.1.1

Might one assume that the nameservers are written into
/etc/resolv.conf by the DHCP client at →, so that they
can immediately be read again in order to attempt (and
fail) to ascertain the hostname from the nameserver.

Cheers,
David.
