The liquid contact indicators change in high humidity as well, which I suspect is pretty often the case when they claim liquid damage. Their repair policy is more or less "let's just rip everything out and let the customer pay" which is not only not very environmental, it is also a shot policy for such an expensive product. If they told her "the reason it won't boot is liquid damage" it is pretty much fradulent. If they told her "your CPU is popped, which could be caused by water damage" it is OK. However, since those indicators are the only thing they check and the people at the stores are on average about as technical as my mom, you will probably never get anything else then apple textbook information.
