You are not being that confrontational, I actually agree however as they
say, horses for courses.

I was hoping to change your mind so that you stopped cleaning them.

When I was at another company, before I started my own, we did a lot of
training, programming in many languages, one thing that all of the
instructors did was say something like this "Ok, not for function xyz,
we ant it to do abc, but, since it would take forever to write that,
since we don't have time, I'll show you a way we can prove our code
example, but, remember, this is only to show you how it works, NEVER use
this in the real world, this is only for class."

Guess what? Ever student I ran across in the years since, when looking
at their code, they all uses the same method he said not to use in his
example - every one of them.....

The best teachers, the ones I respected the most, were the ones that
never used short-cuts to teach, never said "This is for the class room
example only".

The point is that if we teach people that we can mostly clean their
machines, that it's good enough, and they don't feel the "pain", not
that I want them to feel the "pain", they will keep doing the stupid
thing that compromised them in the first place - not to mention that
their machine might not actually be clean.

Once a person goes through a wipe/reinstall and then hours to get
everything working again and reinstalled, and they have to pay for that
time, they don't make that mistake again (normally) and they try and
learn how to prevent it - instead of the typical idiot that just goes
back to doing what they were doing in the first place.

Yea, I know, Each to his own, but sometimes we learn enough to change
our ways.
