The concern in this case is that you could visit a bogus site and receive

Funny, that's not what you said befo

The serious consequence of accepting a bogus certificate authority is that
your computer can be infected with malware after you have done so. If you
enjoy identity theft, credit-card fraud, or reinstalling machines to
eliminate
malware, that is your prerogative, but most people don't enjoy that.

Sure is a huge leap from "infected with malware... identity theft,
credit-card fraud" to "bogus information [for which there would be
absolutely no consequences]". I guess consistency is too much to ask
from you.
