I don't disagree that the disclaimer should be unnecessary. But I would argue the problem is more closely related to consumer entitlement than ignorance.
People's sense of entitlement to make a mistake without it costing anything: that might be increasing, more so than common sense is decreasing. I'm not sure.
Anyway I think it's great how you address comments you disagree with; keeps us commenters accountable and the discourse is fun + valuable.
