I disagree.
Software development is not about lawyering. If we go that way, then
there are high chances that reviewers would have an unreasonble duty
of proving that every patch is correct. That is wrong. Instead, a
submit should explain why he believes the patch is correct. Argument
that if the reviewer can't prove it is incorrect, then the patch is OK
is not acceptable.
