> If the user caused the problem, telling them the problem should make it easy for them to fix it. Ever shipped consumer software?

  What's your point? Consumers still own their files. Claiming that consumer-oriented software should "own" the files created by the software is the same as claiming that consumers are too stupid for their own good. Personally, I would not want to use software made by a company that believes that.

    Apparently not. I am not against files, actually, I am a big proponent of files. But your statement I quoted is just naive.

      No, I have not shipped any, but I've used plenty, and I hate how such software treats users. Also, I said that it should make it easy, which I understood to mean that there will still be some people for whom it won't help because they simply don't know how or what they did that destroyed their files.
