"When an attack by a card with [Penetrate] hits and destroys a monster on the opponent’scenter, deal damage to the opponent equal to the critical of that attacking card."

This is the example given in the Detailed Rules.

I believe the "This card deals damage" text you're getting is from the explanation text used in the beginning.

I think this is a case of the mechanic functionality itself being updated to fit common standards and interactions but the reminder text not being updated since the beginning. Most likely I guess, since the mechanic is somewhat simple enough nowadays to understand in common situations, Bushi hasn't felt the need to update the text to fit the times.
