Addresses owners blaming themselves for not adding dice or a passphrase: device entropy is normally expected to be better than human-generated entropy, so declining to roll dice was reasonable, and the failure is that the device did not do the job it was bought for. Bears directly on the framing of the dice and passphrase pages, which must not imply owners were negligent.
