I know there are many horror tales about Apple's iPod+iTune firmware/software updates rendering dead devices too, but they, at least, let you the choice to proceed at your own risk.

Yes, there is a SLIGHT bricking factor. But, you have to realize that the bricking would be by THEIR own doing, so they are obligated to fix it free of charge(that includes round trip shipping).
A little risk didnt hurt anybody (maybe only their iLiads
)
