Professional courtesy

Let's say that you just spent the morning running in loops because a client just came back to you to question why your advice you just gave them is contradicted by a "client bulletin" from a large New York firm. Let's say that it eventually comes to light that the client bulletin was based of a prior version of the relevant bill, not the one that was passed, and the mistake was probably the result of some first year not knowing how to pull new laws off the relevant state's legislative web site.

The big firm is obviously trying to break into this area of the law, which is your bread and butter. Few people who get the client bulletin will actually bother to read it, but they may remember it when they have an issue relating to this area of the law and decide to call Big New York Firm.

Would you call Big New York Firm and point out their glaring and potentially dangerous error, out of professional courtesy? If you got such a call, would you send out a correction?
No Fucking Way. Do you think they'd call you up to advise you of the correction?
