Alright. Points been made over and over.

LOL. And you base that assumption that no one reads manuals before purchasing on what? Your own experience? I read everything before purchasing, including installation/configuration manuals for appliances, hardware, software. I read through the entire prospectus and all filings for my house before I purchased it from the builder. That fine print on the bottom of contracts, yup. . you got it. . .I read all of that before signing anything and if you don't, then you're on the hook.
That certain expectation for consumer protection does not include what you are trying to depict. That expectation is that the product will be safe for use for it's intended purpose and that the product will do what it states it will do.
Status quo does not alleviate your responsibility as a consumer and as an adult to know what you're purchasing. Or is what you're saying that since everyone in town buys drugs from person X that it's OK for you to do the same because if the cops arrest you, it's not your fault and the onus was on the drug dealer to tell you it was illegal?
