@bitbybit, this is all true, and I agree except in the judgement in this context of calling it irresponsible. Yes and many (self included) have communicated exactly this to get BTC off the exchanges into a hardware wallet or one of the exchanges supporting BCC (such as ViaBTC) prior to the fork. To those informed this was clear before and after the fork, but I guess you can argue in defense of those who are uninformed about how the fork works.
