460 Throttle Body Cleaning?

I have a 1988 E-360 460 EFI

The Ford technical data says "Do Not Clean the Throttle Body". They say to install a special spacer under the IAC but do not clean the throttle body.

1. Why not clean the throttle body?
2. Has anyone done it and what were the results?

I hate it when I get instructions with no explanation!!

I think they dont want you spraying carb cleaner in there. I believe there is a clear coat type material inside the bores. I cleaned mine with mineral spirits. Big deal
