Most people are sheep.

That's it, plain and simple.  It's why things like the Patriot Act are allowed
to happen, and why up to 80% of all computers are infected with malware.

Yes, they *should* get bent out of shape and all the rest.  No, they won't.

(And yes, it's on-topic - any site security policy that doesn't recognize that
people are sheep and work within those constraints is doomed to fail...)
