[edit] Caller confusion with false SITs

This entire section appears to be an opinion piece whining about why false SITs shouldn't be used. It either needs citations, an opposing viewpoint (e.g. sleazy telemarketers forced people to add false SITs to get them to shut up), or removed entirely. Gregly (talk) 17:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

That's a rather agressive response, Greg. Would you not agree that playing of a false busy signal on an answering machine might confuse a caller? A false ringing signal, perhaps? You're arguing that a first time caller, hearing a false SIT would NOT assume it's real? I'm not really following your logic and would have tough time finding something to support what is prima facie. Perhaps the wording of the section is a bit too paternalistic. How might you phrase a caveat? Or would you prefer that a caveat be cited from somewhere? Lexlex (talk) 17:00, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
