This would catch a lot of false positives. For example, I use Atomic Web Browser on my iPad and iPhone - it lets me change my user agent string because some websites try to redirect you to a slimmed-down mobile version, and I might want to get to the full version of the website. So it is quite often that I actually change my user agent string to show desktop Safari instead of mobile.
