No FUD.
The engineers who wrote it say "Don't use it this way. If you do,  
expect problems. If you have problems they are you're fault."

Now, like helmets, you may never need one. But when you do it's very  
nice to have been wearing one.

If you never have an issue that doesn't mean that one does not exist.  
Just that you have not had the pleasure of experiencing it.
