A legitimate question.

To me, there is nothing unacceptable about putting a disclaimer on your work. It doesn't make one seem unprofessional solely by doing so at all, in my ever so humble opinion. As you well know, disclaimers are part of business, many businesses all over this country. We usually don't read them or just quick-read them before signing off.

There are way too many variables to be held 100 % accountable for mere pittance of compensation.

All that said, I believe most of us take great pride in the thoroughness of our work and intend to deliver the absolute best product to our clients, as sure as a human can be that it is accurate.

If a client balks at a disclaimer, a decision has to be made -- let them walk or buckle under and remove the disclaimer.

Seems to me that some title companies, and I stress "some" want all the onus on abstractors while squeezing us on price, demanding "yesterday" turn-times and interacting with us as if we're dirt.

Doesn't seem like a professional nor healthy relationship to me. Why do they do it? Just like the old crude joke about the dog who licks himself. Why does he do it? Because he can.
