Yeah, but I would point out that if lawyers had their way, no one would ever say (or type) anything. There may be valid concerns, but it's hard (for me at least) to separate the actual, plausible concerns from the lawyerly push to have everyone clam up on every topic, forever -- because it's far safer. Possibly true, but uninteresting in the extreme.
YMMV, IANAL, blah, blah :)

The Terrible Truth About Layers, Mark MacCormick tells us in his late-90's business book, is that *their job is to keep you from ever getting your business in any trouble at all of any sort*.
Your job, as a businessperson, is to make rational business evaluations of their advice... and know when to ignore it.
