I think it's more a matter of background knowledge and knowing the 
English terminology. If you don't know enough music theory to know what 
an accidental is, the warning might not help, even though we have fairly 
illustrative examples. Also, in Swedish, for example, the word for 
"accidentals" is actually used to denote sharps, flats and naturals in 
general, both when used in key signatures and when used as accidentals, 
which might increase the risk of confusion.
