Sometimes engineers would poke fun at this stuff. The manual for RSTS monitor ODT -- an

The material included in this document, limited to but not including,
construction speeds and operating purposes is for instruction times
only. All such claim is material without notice, and is bound to
change the subject.
while the official text looked like this:
This document is for informational purposes and is subject to change
without notice. DEC assumes no responsibility for the use or
reliability of its software on equipment which is not supplied by DEC.
