This argument of course can be made for everything we use. From the list of radio frequencies we get handed in our morning briefing; the photocopied map the club makes; the information we get on aus-soaring; the information in the GPS on height above ground; the GPS manufacturer; the GPS errors; The FLARM collision database; the FLARM code; the list goes on... Not just in flying either: Your speedo is wrong, you drive 100 around a corner and spin out in a 100K zone when you should have driven slower; and many more... The tools are only a help and guide. Having an extra tool that tells you about a potential danger can only help. This is really way beyond my ability to argue, I am just not experienced enough, but it is of the same level as FLARM - and that has been argued to death here and on many sites - so you can refer to the arguments there.
