That alone isn't a justification to take away the user's rights and responsibilities. Let people make mistakes, they'll learn from it.

- zepto 6y agoIf they want to make painful mistakes and learn from them, they can buy a Linux box. If they don’t, they can buy a Mac. Don’t force them to choose an unsafe tool when they don’t want to.
- alpaca128 6y agoShould we also get rid of photoshop because users could lack practice drawing and feel frustrated while trying to improve? After all they could just google a couple nice images and be done with it. We learn from mistakes, not from success.
- xvector 6y agoMistakes in the modern world can have devastating consequences. It’s not as simple as your computer freezing up and becoming part of a bot net. Your files will be stolen, your accounts hacked, you will lose money. Most users would gladly take protection from that as opposed to “learning” by making mistakes (getting infected).

- zepto 6y agoA mistake in securing your personal data and ending up the victim of fraud or blackmail is very different from a mistake learning to draw. But, more importantly - people use photoshop because they want to edit images. Most people do not buy computers because they want to learn how to defeat cyberattacks. You know what some users learn after dealing with insecure systems? They learn to buy a Mac.
