I think you mean disclosure.

Why would you disclaim something cool?

Ooo love this rabbit hole. I’ve always used “disclaimer” as “warning”, and would definitely use it for a conflict of interest, but technically the legal field uses it specifically for asserting a lack of liability (ish).

Certainly interesting, but I think I’m gonna stubbornly stand my descriptivist ground here. We conquered “literally”, and “sneak peak” is soon to fall — I’ll add this to the list!

Fair point. I guess that I'm disclosing that I lead the project and disclaiming the self-interest in posting? :)
