In page 98 of "Oracle certificated Professional
Java SE7 programming Exams 1Z0-804 and 1Z0-805" by S G Ganish Tushar Sharma(2013), the authers claim that we can not use

The argument in the beginning of page 99 is true for the reference from outside the outer class so no need to refer to the use of

Is there any explanation please.
