This is a lame post. It was clear what the OP meant: in hot trouble for not doing the job. And technically liable vs. otherwise wasn't even the main point of the post. Assume best intentions and avoid nitpicking. Also the Q&A format comes off as a little condescending.

It was not clear what the OP meant, ‘liable’ has a distinct meaning with regards to legal liability.
A little condescending is OK when someone is posting authoritatively and they’re totally incorrect.
