I'm going to disagree with your disagreement :)

See: http://apple2history.org/history/ah08.html

About 2/3 of the way down in "Overcoming Limitations"

"The video port worked with a standard monitor, but had access to all video 
signals. Included with the original IIc was an RF modulator that allowed it 
to be connected to a standard television (for color games). An RGB adapter 
box attached to the video port would allow a true RGB monitor to be 
attached, giving color and sharp, readable 80 column text on the same 
monitor."

Now, I don't know if an RGB adapter was produced or not, but it was 
certainly possible.
