I've never had a faulty signal from my brake pad sensors. I had one pad that was wearing improperly on my E46, that pad was dead well before the rest and it was a rear pad as well. The sensor went off, I checked it and surely enough it was definitely time to replace it. Its not a matter of "are you mature/smart/mechanically inclined enough" to check it, its just one of those things that if it isn't broken dont mess with it. That's how I feel, I haven't any problems with it on my Z since I've had it, of course everytime my wheels are off I check the pads but that doesn't mean I'm going to go rip them out. Sure if they went off and it was false or it went out and I replaced my pads then I'd think twice about putting them in.
