Or are we discussing elevated slabs and slabs with a proper vapor retarder?

And did the ACI statement you quoted refer to a specific scenario?

The discussion is only limited to concrete. A vapor barrier/retarder does not make concrete more or less permeable. Elevating a slab does not make it more or less permeable.
