Perhaps, but it's a perfectly valid distinction. If people continue
to practice willful ignorance and refuse to learn anything about
their own computers, and the software thereon, they will always have
problems. People need to learn to fend for themselves, rather than
blindly relying upon some anonymous and distant corporate, in this
case, or government entity to look after their best interests.

I agree, in principle, but that doesn't change the fact that most people
still would understand the fine line you are talking about, even if they
happened to read this one thread out of trillions of newsgroup threads.
