There is, see:
+ grub_util_warn ("Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in
this "
+ "setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are
UNRELIABLE and "
+ "its use is discouraged.");
+ if (! force)
+ grub_util_error ("If you really want blocklists, use --force.");
The first is always displayed, the latter only when we don't have --force

That's an option, too. But it would preclude the possibility of issuing
warnings for which we don't want to require --force (i.e. lesser evils).
I wonder if that would be a problem?

still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
