Of course it doesn't make sense, that was my point! In the same way it doesn't make any sense to do what you're doing, which is comparing the explicit statement of liability in the license to the social norm of how open source projects are framed & run.

You missed the point that everything we're talking about is just social norms. The license is irrelevant here, for all sides. There is no legal issue being disputed.

No, everything is not just social norms, because there is no agreed upon norm or standard "framing" for open source projects (as indicated by all the disagreements here and elsewhere on this topic), leaving the actual license as the only concrete, agreed upon description of obligations and expectations between the creator/maintainer and users.
