To illustrate the whole meaning and true purpose of a disclaimer in this context, I refer again to Wikipedia and their disclaimer about that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip...ical_disclaimer
In giant bold letters, we can read:
Quote:
WIKIPEDIA DOES NOT GIVE MEDICAL ADVICE

That disclaimer is absolutely unambiguous. We can be certain that there will be no misunderstanding of any kind whatsoever when we read Wikipedia for any information related to medicine. These guys aren't doctors, don't pretend to be, don't try to diminish doctors nor doctor's advice or profession, don't try to usurp a doctor's role in any way whatsoever, don't try to make themselves appear more than what they really are.

To illustrate even better, let's make it look exactly like the BDA disclaimer.
Quote:
Not a substitute for proper medical diagnosis, or general advice given by a Wikipedia contributor.

Do any of us think that this disclaimer would pass the test?
