> Using computers is essential to the jobs and social lives of huge swaths of people, and providing safe tools to accomplish those goals is a very valuable social good. In particular, most people who use a computer don't have the time or the interest to really learn the details of computer security or how the internet/their web browser works, nor do they really have a choice as to whether they use these technologies in the first place. What business do those people have "[flipping] every switch the opposite way around to see what happens", then? I think expecting users to have some humility when using technology they don't understand, or to be prepared to take responsibility for the consequences if they don't, is rather different from and much more reasonable than expecting them to "learn the details of computer security or how the internet/their web browser works".
