Common Sense? Safety Warning

I was installing a vehicle hoist this weekend and read all 3 pages, 24 paragraphs of the safety/warning statements. I was amused by the final line of the final warning paragraph that stated:

The operator must understand that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.



Unfortunately I think in today"s world "common sense" is lacked by the majority of people which would then make it "un-common sense" for those who have it, right? :)

Common sense says that should be the first line since most people will only read the first paragraph, if even that much.
 
You are assuming that the person can read............May not be the case if they a Mexican that no can read English....Senoir.
 
"Common sense" as an expression in the English language is no longer realistic because it has been adopted by "certain" politicians to mean their opinions on various topics. If you don"t agree with their opinions, then you aren"t using common sense.

Nowadays, when I hear that expression, it is about as meaningless as "Easter Bunny"!
 
Well, I just watched a segment on the National news, saying that Consumer Report had de rated several brands of cars. Some for "crash tests", but others for lack of reliability in voice comand, and navigation systems.
Has our society become so stupid that we don't know how to shift to forward, or reverse, or drive a stick shift, or read a map? I believe we have a new generation of tech-no idiots that don't even know how to wipe their own butt, without a computer guided robot lurking under the lid of a toilet.
