This is kind of like a recipe book opening with a disclaimer saying "Some of these recipes might make you ill."

Immediately followed by many, many pages recommending that you add asbestos for flavoring, or lead for color.

A disclaimer doesn't change whether something is done or not. And it's a rather small fig leaf compared to the rest of the book.
