There's a difference between a claim and a warranty.  The phrase "not 
warranteed for any purpose" doesn't mean that the product won't work or that 
they don't think it will, it means you won't get any money if it fails.  I 
don't think that's beneath contempt; on the contrary I think it's entirely 
worthy of contempt.
