I suppose that it's true that we try to avoid gratuitous breakage, but
I feel like it would be weird to document that.

Sometimes I go to a store and I see a sign that says "shoplifters will
be prosecuted." But I have yet to see a store with a sign that says
"people who appear to be doing absolutely nothing wrong will not be
prosecuted." If I did see such a sign, I would frankly be a little
concerned.
