No problem.
That exact same rim, with the same number of spokes, but laced cross-2?
It's a dumb way to build a wheel, but it wouldn't be unsafe.
The sticker is pure, unadulterated, ass-covering lawyerese. (Which would be very, very unlikely to work in an actual court, unless the plaintiffs had Vinny for a lawyer.)

No fair. The rim with 12 more holes drilled in it is no longer “that exact same rim”. Laced into a 32-spoke wheel it might not warrant the sticker. But the original rim with 20 spokes cannot be made into a 32-spoke wheel, and so might warrant the sticker. A good lawyer would have you cornered right there.
You say the sticker is “pure . . . lawyerese”. Yet you say in the same breath that it wouldn’t work in an in an “actual” court (as opposed to a make-believe one?), so no asses are actually covered. Which is it? Or can we just rely on your demonstration that you don’t know what you’re talking about?
