OK, wait, I'm confused

I've asked the Tank this before because of his law degree, but it bears repeating.

At the end of movies, there's usually a disclaimer about any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental... Why is this run at the end of some historical movies? I've never paid enough attention to it in biopics like Walk the Line to say for sure if it's there, too.

Worse yet are the Law and Order clones that do TV promos screaming, "Ripped from the headlines!" and then run the disclaimer at the end.

How does that happen? They just said two hours ago that it's a story taken from real life and then claim that any similarity to persons living or dead is a coincidence? How is that on the level?

TV confuses me sometimes and not just when Rachel Ray is on it four times a day with a thriving career. Yeah, figure that one out...
