To be fair, cases like that are rare. It's not there for your safety, it's there for legal liability, or rather lack thereof. I have to take the manufacturers side on that one.
That being said, I guess I can't exactly say much about my generation when the less intelligent of us are eating laundry detergent and licking electronics because the internet told them to.
Oh, and because I just thought about it, stupid people don't read the manual anyway.
Check out chubbyemu on YouTube to see just how stupid people can be. There was a story about a man eating like 40 silica gel packets. One where a dude drank a full bottle of throat numbing spray so he can win a spicy food contest. There was one where a woman following a fake internet cleanse who drank a liter of soy sauce. She actually permanently damaged her brain. It’s actually pretty entertain channel. A lot of the episodes aren’t total lunk head moves though. Like the guy who likely let his dog lick his face and the infection he god killed him. I never let any dog lick my face but I know a lot of people who do.
That's because my car from that time period had solid lifters and shitty parts. There's been no need to touch the valvetrain in 245,000 miles on the car I have now. The timing chain wasn't even sloppy yet. The body is going to fail before the engine does.
Yeah what car had solid lifters? Most engines of the 60’s had hydraulic, except for the the high performance big blocks-hemis, 427s, some of the hi-po small blocks
Everytime I hear of ridiculous rules and warnings like this, I always think to myself, "that rule was put in place because some stupid dipshit actually did it.".
It’s not just that. If you look at the owners manual today, it literally tells you nothing about maintaining or repairing the vehicle. Any instructions in the manual relate to only superficial things.

You're on the right track, but its not that. Its that now setting the valves is much much harder.

But I love soy sauce gramma! It's so salty and tasty!
Wait, was I not supposed to do that?
Yes! Right after you change the blinker fluid.
Are you challenging me?

My 1973 Plymouth Duster had a slant-6 with solid lifters.
TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP I can still hear it today.

Gotta pair my phone..!
So important! Not sure what I’d do if it didn’t explain how to read the fuel gauge or adjust the volume for the radio.
