Maybe they think if your going to go into sport mode that you'll be tempted to start playing.
YEP, probably just a precaution... MHO, if you take it easy (i.e., avoid high rpm), there's no problem. For me, now that I've gotten very familiar in Normal, I look forward to noticing true performance differences...
