Yes, we unfortunately have turned into a very litigious society which puts professionals in the position of needing to cross all their i's and dot all their t's to safeguard their livelihoods, their professions, their reputations, etc. I can't blame people for needing to do this. I don't think it is a reflection of paranoia; it's just the legal reality of the nature of their profession. They generally wish it didn't have to be that way, but they can't hang their professional safety on wishes.
