99% of users would click "Ignore and don't ask me again." If that option is not available they would tell their friends how stupid their OS was and that it ruined their weekend. The OS needs to paper over known defects, if consumers are to be kept sane.

DOS had abort, retry, fail (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abort,_Retry,_Fail%3F https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abort,_Retry,_Fail%3F) when it encountered an issue; most BIOSes will stop if they can't detect the keyboard or if a memory test failed (it typically can be overriden), Windows has an Advanced Boot Options screen that automatically comes up (such that the user can select "Safe Mode") if/when the computer crashed previously... I'm not saying you're wrong; I'm just saying, hey, there's "prior art" for this... <g>

  The link you provide says that is a famous example of a bad user interface. I can't tell if you're agreeing with me.

    Abort, retry, ignore(, fail) is perfect example of UI, that was good when it was designed, but very fast became nothing else than source of confusion.

On the other hand, it could collect entropy in that prompt!
