Verily. But, even to this moment I am not aware what the System/OS in use on the Centris is. Although it is a fair assumption that it is OS 8.1 or below, the events after the message may have been either obligatory through failure of the Mac to boot at all, or belt-and-braces thoroughness on Apostrophe's part—especially given Apostrophe's screen name, a 'turning away' in Greek, presumably of ill fortune in this case—so as to avoid a failure to boot.
I still look forward to reading that Apostrophe, under the shield of DW, has conquered his opposition.
