Yes, because they (would) protect us from complaints of censorship (or  
unfair treatment) when we delete advertisements (and it's not the  
watches, but instead the GPS receiver advertisements that we REALLY  
need to worry about), or complaints of unreliability when people rely  
on the information published on an OSM server.

Yes, one would truly be happier if people used their common sense.   
Unfortunately, the United States Government has outlawed common sense  
with its strict liability laws.  I love my country but fear my  
government's ineffable stupidity and worse our executive team's  
inability to perceive and correct problems with obvious solutions.
