I've read that in the past. That's an absolutely beautiful way of guaranteeing your contract is at least being read.
I've used similar in my business dealings. If the contact immediately starts off with something I know to be untrue, that's the only chance they get and they lost it. They can't be bothered to make sure the initial detail is correct, I can't trust them.

It's a superb way to head off fuckery. If the vendor supplies brown M&Ms or asks "Do we really need to remove the brown ones?"...then you know they paid attention to everything else.

And they'd literally destroyed previous venues' stages with the weight of their equipment and power requirements...so they had a good reason to be insistent on details.

I will often ignore a client's questions and instead answer the questions I thought the customer should've asked.

This is exactly what any good service provider is supposed to do; the caveat being that this should be explained so they know they are not just being ignored or overruled.

I recently went shopping for different homeowner's insurance. One place gave me a quote for everything I wanted online. It tried to get me to add car insurance too, which I didn't want. So I clicked no and through to just buy what I want.
It doesn't let me. I had to actually call an agent to actually finish the deal. I was annoyed, but it was a good price from a reputable company so I do.
The agent gets on and pulls up my file. He then asks for my diver information so I can get a car insurance quote that I've already seen and declined and the website. I tell him I don't want car insurance, I'm happy with what I have, just the house. He puts me on hold to "just check for me anyways."
I hung up and called a different company and paid more I was so pissed. The idiot tried to call me back multiple times and left multiple messages.
This company could have sold me insurance I wanted to buy on their webite. Instead they make me do an extra step to an idiot who talks me out of doing business with them because he can't listen to "no, do not try to sell me anything else, just sell me what I've already decided on."

I know someone has said it already but this is why people put petty/stupid or strange things in contracts. If they do not do something so simple then they are not reading the contract at all.
Also, Most people do not read contracts. Even contracts for things like buying a car.
I have had a sales person scoff at me for actually reading the contract rather than just signing/initialing where they put little markers. The second they did that, while I was reading the contract.. I dropped it on the table and said no-sale and walked out.
If they don't want you reading it or are ticked off that you are "wasting their time" they are not worth your time.
Contracts matter and so does the language. If you cant understand the garbage they put in front of you they are either really, really fucking you.. Or maybe just kind of fucking you. It is worth paying the fee to have a lawyer in the field look over things sometimes.

My apartment complex was shocked when I read my lease and asked questions. They didn't know half the stuff was in there, but they are fucking morons.

I rarely get to the point of disqualifying a company based on how well they follow instructions. Most frequently a company is disqualified outright after I look up their commercials before contacting them and I find there are niggers / jew propaganda in their ads.
If the company will employ niggers in their front-facing ads, they clearly do not want my business as they made it clear that I am not their desired customer. If they'll employ niggers over a White person in their ads, they'll employ niggers over a White person in their offices / storefront / phone customer service / help desk / technician jobs.
Any hint of niggers is a sign that I cannot count on the company to offer quality service or be minimally capable, let alone trusting them to handle any form of billing properly.
And the ad-nigger is only the first test to pass to gain my business.

I've torpedoed a number of vendors for quotes where they could have easily received millions of dollars if they answered a simple yes or no question. "Can you do X?" when I framed it as "This is not a requirement, just a nice-to-have", and they responded with waffling or sales guy weaseling.
It's like asking a hotel "It's not a big deal, but do you have onsite drycleaning?" If you answer that with "We have many awesome amenities blah blah blah" instead of "Yes" or "No" then I know you're fucktarded and are going to make every interaction a huge timesink.

I work with people like this. I ask a yes or no question and they start with a dissertation on the various aspects of plastics in ethernet cables in the middle ages and their relevance to coffee.

I ask servers for extra lemons, how that gets handled usually lets me know where it's going. The servers that remember this request are usually top notch.
