Ordinal Encoder course issue

*If a categorical variable does not carry any meaningful order information then this encoding might be misleading to downstream statistical models and you might consider using one-hot encoding instead (see below).

Shouldn’t this line be the opposite. Encoding a categorical column which does not contain any meaningful order would be preferable using OridnalEncoder rather than the opposite?

Nop. If there is no ordering then use OneHotEncoder. When using the OrdinalEncoder, the downstream model will use the ordering induces by the encoding. Thus only use OrdinalEncoder if there is a categorical ordering.
