I design and operate monitoring systems, and let me tell you, information fatigue is a real thing. Warning labels make sense when sensibly used; otherwise people get conditioned to ignore them, even if they would be crucial. Think of road signs: if there was a speed limit of 10 before every turn, all speed limits would soon lose credibility.

Hardest part of the job is actually learning which alerts we need to keep and which to trim.... if we simply slap warnings on everything, everyone would ignore them soon enough.
