There is doubt, but it isn’t conclusive. It says there is doubt, but not that they can’t be NBC’s. We are reading the same thing and inferring two different things.

My argument is about a child who is NOT born in the jurisdiction of another country. I was told my son had no claim to any sort of German citizenship by the German consulate, so he is no more a German citizen than I am. I agree that there can be doubts, I understand they are saying, “you can be sure this type is a NBC, and some people say this type might be a NBC, but we can’t be sure, luckily, we don’t have to decide on that to finish this case.” So, a case like my son’s has not been heard or ruled on. I am saying that I think that my son does not fall into any of the categories that would deny his being a NBC.

"Some authorities go further, and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction, without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.

It is only speaking of doubts about citizenship. It is saying nothing at all about considering them natural-born.
