You are entitled to your opinion, but before you take the message out,
let me first explain why I put it there: it's because if a user says,
e.g., "emacs -q --no-desktop", she doesn't really understand what
"--no-desktop" does. So I thought it would be good to point out that
the option is not supposed to do anything in that situation. If we
silently ignore the option, the user might become bewildered as to why
Emacs didn't do whatever she thought it should do in this case.
