Disclaimers are for avoiding liability. i.e. you adda disclaimer because you have some hidden agenda or other fact that hurts your cause. Caring about usability on the web isn't any of these things. It's really more of a "and it's not like I dislike usability, either," sort of addendum rather than a disclaimer.
Anyway, I'm not convinced. Usability matters to everyone, not just people that can't make heads or tails of the interface. The point is not only to make it usable at all, but also to make it easier to use, and at times, faster to use. So, sure, maybe a ferrari isn't usable by those that are somehow physically handicapped and unable to walk. But you know what? That doesn't have to be the case, and indisputably the ferrari would be better if it was usable by everyone without sacrificing anything (except the "freedom" of the engineer to make it hard to use for some people). And that's what usability, and accessibility, is about, isn't it?
