I know, when I took the screen shot I knew I'd be able to wiggle around the problem. I just thought the message was interesting. Why go to the bother of putting up such a silly dialog? I even know the answer, no one thought of that case when they programmed the thing. Of course on a serious side, some people haven't had years of training to think like a computer and are likely to be confused by such a message.
