Looking through all this, I think disclaimers should have no direct legal
effect other than to alert people that something might be wrong. Then, if
a truthiness case is brought, an "honest" disclaimer about minor uncertainty
(or truly difficult situations) would be grounds for guilty/discharge (or not
bringing the case at all) while disclaimers to protect someone who's making
an obnoxious play wouldn't get them out of punishment. This leaves it up
to the discretion of the judge.
I know this isn't the current precedent but it's cleaner than the current
state and leaves disclaimers in the "be nice" realm.
