it's not really the linter's job to say "are you sure". the linter just applies the rules and generates messages, it's up to you to do with those messages what you will when using the python integration in vscode (which runs pylint), clicking on a linter error gives me a context menu where one of the options is essentially "are you sure?" and will automatically adds the appropriate comment to disable the linter for that line.
