Yes, I do agree that the warnings are meant to change hearts, and in that regard there is no doubt they have some measure of success. My point was that prophesy is prophesy, and the dire events prophesied will come.
It's just like you said, the warnings are a helpful gift for self-determining which team you'll wind up on after the final draft.
As a hopeful final round draft pick, I've been paying a LOT more attention to the warnings these days.
