BeetaIf something can't be overstated, doesn't that means that it should not be overstated This doesn't logically follow at all. If something can't be done, it can't be done. If something shouldn't be done, it shouldn't be done. Can't and shouldn't mean totally different things. That's why they're different words. Consider these similar examples:

BeetaThe phrase “it cannot be understated or overstated” serves as a powerful tool in emphasizing the importance, significance, or impact of a statement or fact. Its dual negation effectively communicates that the matter at hand is of utmost importance and should be fully recognized without downplaying or exaggerating its implications.

Beeta'Overstate' means basically to make a bigger deal out of something than it is, whereas 'understate' means the opposite. "It's hard to overstate the devastating effect of the nuclear bomb" is correct: you're saying that the damage of a nuclear bomb is so vast that however devastating one could say the nuclear bomb is won't be far over the truth.

Beeta'The importance of this cannot be understated.' means that the importance is very high and should not be underestimated. 'The importance of this cannot be overstated.' means that the importance is significant and cannot be emphasized enough. The choice between 'understated' and 'overstated' depends on the intended emphasis on the importance.

BeetaAnd it doesn't seem to be the whole story even in the "cannot" or "impossible" cases, because when people say "we cannot understate the importance of X" (the phrase Wallraff is discussing), they seem to mean "we cannot overstate the importance of X" (because it is so great), not just "we're obliged not to understate the importance of X ...

BeetaThis is actually a fairly common mistake. And understate/overstate is not alone. Underestimate is often misused when overestimate is the intended word. You cannot underestimate the devastation that Hurricane Sandy brought. Well, yes, actually you can. You can easily underestimate it by thinking that little destruction occurred.
