Maybe, that statement should be: 

  Yes, you can. But the parentheses need to be put if the number 
  of arguments is zero, e.g., FOO().

For example,

  % ruby -e 'A'
  /tmp/rbi11607:1: uninitialized constant A (NameError)
  % ruby -e 'A()'
  /tmp/rbD22645:1: undefined method `A' for #<Object:0xabecc> (NameError)
  %
