in /etc/clam.d/scan.conf there is this for many settings (MaxScanSize=150M
for example)

# Note: disabling this limit or setting it too high may result in severe
damage to the system.

What is severe damage?
  - it causes linux to corrupt itself, where I need to reinstall linux?
  - it somehow causes irreparable damage to a hard disk or ssd or RAM?
  - it causes the cpu or motherboard to fail?

Can the reason for this statement of severe damage be further clarified and
explained?
If I set MaxScanSize to 151M is that good or bad and why?

does this scan.conf also affect doing a manual "clamscan --recursive /"
