I can't believe you that as a lawyer you would claim that!

There's a difference, in that discussing the law and the implications of it are things we expect people to do constantly and not just by lawyers. For instance, I'm sure a lot of discussions in Wall Street around the contract Musk signed for Twitter were done by non-lawyers.
I do not think that such a disclaimer would help if we were talking about your, djoldman's, plea bargain negotiations.
