I agree with your analysis.
I wonder why they believe it is not the clock spring.

New clock springs have been NLA for several years. The way around the problem, is to simply move the horn wire to a spare track on the clock spring connector. There's a couple of spare positions on the plug, as most FL1s don't have cruise control.

Its probably described in Rave and someone will be along who knows - but I'd just say "with care" - in case you set the airbag off!
