/admin might not be something a kiddie wouldn't try out anyway. But this 
case is quite specific to your setup. Others might have more uncommon 
directories in the robots.txt which should be flagged.

The scanner doesn't know if /admin or /myprivatedocs is something worth 
to report or not but you know as you know your setup. I think the way to 
go is in general to make a override of the thread if it doesn't match 
with your risk assessment.

On the other side I agree that robots.txt is not a medium risk but would 
rather mark it "Low" than "None" for the reason stated above.
