Convince me that the infection rates among the general population, and among
the users clued enough to use the tool, are comparable.

What percent of the PC's being used to read this posting have been backed up

You can't use numbers from a biased sample of clued people to predict or
estimate the numbers for the larger pool of clueless people....
