Your boss bought 5 replacement MacBooks instead of just saying, "I never spilled liquid into any of these"?

TBH I'm astonished at what Apple customers accept.

What are they supposed to say? Apple computers have small moisture indicators in their computers and when those are tripped you won't get anything for free.

They are supposed to say, "I don't care what the indicator says, I never spilled anything on this laptop".

If the indicator doesn't do what it's supposed to then why would you accept it once? Why would someone accept it 5 times??

As a comment, if the other parts of the laptop can fail it's not unreasonable to think that the moisture indicator could also fail.
