Probably intentional. There are enough stupid people in the World who would try funky things if those IPs where real.

Could have just used class E addresses, at least then it would look intentional insead of brainless.

There are several IP address ranges reserved specifically for documentation and examples such as 192.0.2.0/24 and 2001:db8::/32. That's what they should have used.
