The 99.98% of *real* *users* who are so clueless as to not *know* that it's a
bad idea.  How many subscribers on this list?  30K, maybe?  What percent of the
several hundred million internet users is that, anyhow?

Who, in their right minds, would drink bleach out of the bottle under the sink?
 Nobody - but the first thing most parents do is put a *lock* on that cabinet,
or move the bleach, because we know that the toddler *isnt* in their right
mind, and will need several years of learning before they are.

The same exact logic applies when talking about users.  They do things because,
just like the 3 year old, they DONT KNOW ANY BETTER.
