No difference than disclaiming you don't do structural engineering on the structure and then commenting on trusses, rafters, foundation walls, etc.
Or (to reverse the scenario) to call the home inspection and report "comprehensive" then disclaim everything that you don't do and that is not "visible" because it is now a "visual" inspection ... "visual inspection" does not equal "comprehensive inspection".
