That is not the case in this context. robots.txt is the only thing that specifies the document URL, which it does so in a "disallow" rule. The argument that they did not know the request would be responded to with hostility could be moot in that context (possibly because a "reasonable person" would have chosen not to request the disallowed document but I'm not really familiar with when that language applies).

This is a qualitatively different example than a zip bomb, as it is clearly destructive in a way that a zip bomb is not. True that a zip bomb could cause damage to a system but it's not a guarantee, while deleting files is necessarily damaging. Worse outcomes from a zip bomb might result in damages worthy of a lawsuit but the presumed intent (and ostensible result) of a zip bomb is to effectively cause the recipient machine to involuntarily shut down, which a court may or may not see as legitimate given the surrounding context.
