Polymarket resolutions don't care for real-world facts. Instead, whoever has more money can arbitrarily decide the result of any market, SO BE CAUTIOS!

Example: `https://polymarket.com/event/trump-declassifies-ufo-files-in-2025/trump-declassifies-ufo-files-in-2025` resolved to YES. Reason? UMA can manipulate the results and to counter it you need to put more money into it, so, at the end it seems it's a matter of whoever has more money, decides the result instead of the actual result of it.

Bug: Personal opinion content in technical library documentation

The added "IMPORTANT NOTICE" section contains what appears to be personal grievance content rather than technical documentation. It includes subjective claims about market manipulation, references a specific political market outcome, and uses emotional language ("SO BE CAUTIOS!" which also contains a typo). This type of opinionated content is inconsistent with the professional technical documentation style used throughout the rest of the README and appears to be personal notes that may have been mistakenly committed to a library repository.
