I don't know how I feel about other headers, but I don't like using a Content-Type header since it can disagree with the binary stream, and this has historically been a place to hide bugs.

Hi Author. I did not say that, but I did think it. I understand if it is confusing you have no idea if the person giving the admonishment "don't do this" is just sniffing glue, so I will try to explain why I think most people

You either have consent or you do not. Mixed signals do not permit you to err to your benefit. EU courts have already ruled that "cookie banners" that are too-confusing aren't considered consent.
