"NO RELATIONSHIP" rather than "VIEW RELATIONSHIP" when there is no relation

While searching my ancestry, I often get off and onto persons with whom I have no relation. It would be good to know that right away. If there is no relationship could you say "NO RELATIONSHIP" (in BOLD RED) rather than "VIEW RELATIONSHIP", then I will know immediately. This will save us all a lot of time to use on more productive pursuits.

    Appreciate your great suggestion. I am trying to find my way around this website and it's new additions. Wondering......am I to assume the folks listed on my tree are verified and are true relatives? I am having doubts concerning one relative but guess I will keep researching. thank you so much. I hope I explained my question, annie tyer-sparks

    @Annie Sparks, a conclusion's presence in the collaborative, open-edit Family Tree does not indicate that it has been verified by some outside entity. It generally just means that there is a user who believes it to be true, and no other user has taken issue with it.

    @W Andrews, the problem is resources: the idea would mean that as part of loading any profile page, the process would have to run the "View Relationship" feature and summarize its results in the header. Every. Single. Time., on Every. Single. Profile. Page. This would mean a significant increase in server/processor loads and a corresponding significant decrease in response speeds. I'd rather not deal with that.

    But in any case, the information should in no case be any shade of red. Stuff should never yell at me unless there is actually a problem.

    To go along with my initial suggestion, it would also be very helpful if, for example, in the tree and elsewhere, that names of non-relatives were shaded (gray). This will help us all stay within our own families. Here's the issue: Family Search show that I have a relationship with the wife of my cousin. But, if I look at her parents or siblings, I have no relationship. It would be nice if such were identified in some way, such as shading.
