I am sure flames are already directed my way for being imprecise here, but what
I mean is that although the authors put this boilerplate in the document, the
IETF, through the document publication process, effectively affirms that the
authors have made this claim, so it's entirely reasonable for us to
double-check that all of the authors of a document know they are making this
claim, and that it isn't something that one author put in without asking the
others about it, and that all the authors actually understand what the
boilerplate says.
