I have no particular objection to the withdrawal of a bounty, specially if offered by a mod and even more specially by one who has lost about 30k rep in good causes, but I do rather object to incorrect guidance. Given [bounty](http://travel.stackexchange.com/help/bounty) emboldens both of: 
 
**non-refundable**  

and
  
**All bounties are paid for up front and non-refundable under any circumstances**  

can we at least have a footnote on that page that mentions there may be very exceptional circumstances in which bounties are refunded?
