This reasoning is correct for most warnings. The worst are warnings about
unsafe implicit conversions which get "fixed" by changing the semantics of
a correct program, by introducing an explicit cast. A better fix would be
to disable the warning in that specific spot, but there's zero demand for
compilers to make it easier to disable warnings.

So I sympathize with your position, but this war is unwinnable.
