No one else complained in all the years this feature existed, so I
think you greatly exaggerate the probability of this happening in
reality.  My guess is that this is simply yet another attempt to
convince that you have uncovered a grave problem, which is patently
false.

We never do anything like that in any other questions we ask the user,
so I see no reason to make this case an exception (and risk confusing
the user even more).
