If you mention touch, you must be aware of what it does. It most
certainly does not change content but preserve timestamp, so is the
threat. If you use it for that purpose, YOU would be the threat.

Funny though, we forget how far off topic we are. I agree that
timestamp issues could very much slow down performance, and that we
should appreciate an option to force ignoring the timestamp, for
those in an emergency or not concerned with performance.
