That will generate parameters for the interactions listed in [pairs] that do not have corresponding [pairtypes]. FudgeLJ and [nonbond_params] are used in such generation, per other parts of 5.7.

If the contradiction you think exists is this one...

... then 5.3.4 indicates that the presence of a [pairs] directive will generate the 1,4 output fields. The parameters for that output are taken from [pairtypes]. If gen-pairs=yes then the parameters are generated, else some warning/error occurs. The example in 5.7.1 has some more explanation about the use of the fudge parameters.
