: I would argue that it is NOT blindly obvious to 99.9% of the consumer 
: population (see all evidence on successes of phishing, et al.)

: You definitely underestimate the value of what you might think of as 
: "common wisdom".

For argument's sake, would you say that 99.9% of the consumer population 
reads his articles? =)

folks or IT folks that are a little more versed in security practices than 
the consumer population.
