The answer you received from Royal Mail doesn't explain anything. It sounds like they told you that the opt-out scheme only covers unaddressed mail. We already knew that – it's called the door-to-door opt-out for a reason.
My article points out that the information Royal Mail provides about the opt-out is contradictory. One of the official statements says that electoral information is covered, another says that it's excepted. It's simply not possible that both statements are true.
I guess the person you spoke to didn't understand the conflicting information either and suggested that one of the statements relates to unaddressed mail and another to addressed mail. The problem with that is that both statements clearly talk about the consequences of opting out of receiving unsolicited, unaddressed mail.
