refering to the original topic statement, these warnings do need to be there. Forget about the Darwin effect - stupid people don't die from ignoring warnings, they live on and sue for millions because there were "insufficient" warnings. Until the lawsuits can be stopped, the warnings should all be there, no matter how obvious they are.
