Yes, it is important to be careful, but repeated emphasis about it is probably not helpful — it starts to sound like you came for a tutorial but found a finger-wagging lecture. Even after I removed a few of these comments, there are still several left in the text. That's probably fine! A couple of mentions of how this is dangerous and you ought to be careful may be a good reminder to the reader. After making the edits, I reflowed the paragraphs that I had touched, using emacs's "M-x fill-paragraph", with fill-column equal to 70.
