Huh? No it doesn't. My mom used to tell me not to open the gate for anyone but John Travolta. She was kidding, of course, but that's just because John Travolta wasn't likely to ring the buzzer. The point is kids learn caveats and exceptions to rules all the times, sometimes on their own and other times taught by parents.
Do you think it's a wise thing to teach a child in such a manner that he would starve in a forest for 4 days because he can't tell the difference between a potential abductor and the authorities? Surely the aim is to teach your kids how to get along as well as possible.
