Whatever. My point is that there's no need to
scream "Danger!". A warning does not imply
danger. And a tip about a gotcha is not
necessarily even a warning.
Can the consequences ever be awful? Presumably.
Will they often be awful? Not likely.
The most likely negative effect is spending
time trying to figure out what's happening.
That's why we should have a tip about the
gotcha.
