It also seems impossible for us to know how the bass, and the bridge job, was presented to M. Warnier. I would respectfully suggest that he may not be "involved" but was, rather, simply a professional hired to make and fit a bridge, with no involvement beyond that.

If a luthier fits a bridge on my bass, it isn't his/her responsibility to vouch for anything but the quality and fit of the bridge, IMHO.
