or what about when you spend your hard earned on a GPS, rush home wire it all up and then you are greeted by a message saying:
"DO NOT RELY ON THIS PRODUCT AS YOUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF NAVIGATION"
Naturally you wouldn't do this, and the laptop and moving map software etc etc are really on aids to aids to aid you in your navigation, but merely symbols of your reliance on things you don't have the right to fully understand or use with confidence.
