Am i the only one reading this into Adam's lines or did he say that (from now on) they'll NOT be issuing any penalties if the duplicate content is within the same domain?

Why mention it then at all?

It seems to me as if, when you have unique information, ie the short explanation of a medical term and you need to have a footer aka disclaimer that you need to prevent that someone sues you and the disclaimer is longer than the original text, these pages get nuked.

How dangerous the suggested "solution" is to put it on another page is apparent. Surely someone not being able to spot the link might do something stupid based on that medical/legal information and probably might then sue you. It's kinda then up to the judge in whatever country you are in if he thinks that medical/legal disclaimer is OK to be on an extra page with their text to brail or speech engines.

Maybe another solution would be to make the disclaimer text an image, although you will then discriminate against and exclude blind people.
