A third category is when they were making scientific declarations. Besides the oft-mentioned point about killing lice on Shabbos, I am bothered by how many people butter made of non-supervised milk, even though they are otherwise makpid on Cholov Yisroel.

(Even though it is difficult, "Nevertheless, butter can be made from camel milk." -- http://www.fao.org/DOCREP/003/X6528E/X6528E04.htm on the website of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.)
