That's your right, of course. But as a likely computer-savvy person, you've probably seen examples of why this joke exists.
You may have had to help family members with computer problems who first spent an hour clicking away and downloading shady tools trying 20 different things trying to solve something and have seen firsthand how their own attempts to fix a problem sometimes messed up the situation even more.
I've had a family member delete some important software configuration file because they thought that the filename had some profanity in it and thought it was therefore a computer virus.
I wouldn't dissuade anybody from trying to solve their own problems, but people with a little knowledge can be very dangerous when trying to fix stuff.
