Just wondering: Is there a legal system on earth that would accept a
disclaimer like "TINLA"?
One, it is probably not intelligible to people coming to this list for
legal advice. A disclaimer that can't be understood by its target
audience shouldn't have legal meaning.
Two, this disclaimer tries to force its own judgement onto the legal
system. If the statement you are referring to is legal advice (which is
a question of legal interpretation), you shouldn't be able to define it
away post factum. A pipe is a pipe, even if you put a sign "This is not
a pipe" beneath it.
