Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Superscriber

Question about the Creature Ability Sneak Attack. It reads:

When the monster Strikes a creature that has the flat-footed condition with an agile or finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse unarmed attack, or a ranged weapon attack, it also deals the listed precision damage. For a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, that weapon must also be an agile or finesse weapon.

I was having a discussion where the other side said they think that when creatures have the sneak attack ability and it says "They deal XdY precision damage to flat-footed creatures" that the flat-footed extra text is a specific override to the creature ability, and thus their sneak attack works on any strike, not only those with finesse/agile/ranged.

Is there any clarification about this?
