I'd still point out that eventually people will presumably get to believing in your program. They'll subconsciously assume that if they mess up, the program will notice, so they don't have to be as careful as they otherwise would.

There's nothing you can do about this; it's human nature. So I claim that making sure the advice your program offers has 1) few bugs. And what it has should be crashes, not just getting the wrong result. 2) Careful wording of the messages to indicate the confidence level of the conclusion it's relating.
