"Conjure by it at your own risk."

Anyone astute enough to know and/or care about that technicality would most likely be pretty cautious about conjuring by Harry's name anyway. Such a person would already know that conjurations can be hijacked and used against the conjurer.
For everyone else, who might benefit from a further example of "Piss Harry off at your own risk," Chichen Itza is as good an example as any.

They can if the right buttons are pushed.

At some point there, they wouldn't be the ones pressing the button in the end either.

wouldn't those two things need to be part of the circle you use anyway?
Mira:
--- Quote ---I think part of it is when you someone someone by their true name, you have to have the will to dominate them in order to require them to be summoned. That's why Mother Winter was offended and needed to test Harry to see if he had the will to fight against her will. Similarly Vadderung had to demoonstrate to Harry in Changes he didn't have the Will necessary to challenge the Lords of the Outer Night as was. Yet he was able to with the full power of Winter Behind him.

That is why the scene where full Monty Harry mentally shouts out his full name as he confronts Shark Face in Cold Days is so significant. It is a serious message not just to Shark Face but to Outsiders in general... page 417
--- Quote ---And I would be damned if I was going to roll over for some punk Outsider and his psychic haymaker.
The words first. Damned near everything begins with words.
"I am," I breathed, and suddenly the ice was clear of my mouth.
"I am Harry. . ." I panted, and the pain redoubled..
And I laughed. As if some freak who never had loved enough to know loss could tell me about pain.
I AM HARRY BLACKSTONE COPPERFIELD DRESDEN!" I roared.
--- End quote ---
Then a little hell begins to break loose... But the point is, Harry is roaring out his full name as a challenge to the Outsiders to try and use it to mess with him... It is a pointed warning that they do it at their own risk and really the first time Harry uses his name in this manner..
