Hmm, I got it. It's because the people answering the phones are paid like $5 an hour! That's not enough for them to actually go through the effort of getting proof of warrentee for every single call.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
