I have no idea how to go about responding to your hypothetical question, people reading fiction and thinking it's real doesn't compare to people being conditioned to not care about sec vulns unless it has a dedicated website with pretty logos. War of the Worlds was broadcast and people freaked out that aliens were invading. I don't think they tracked each of those people down and told them to not be so stupid, they started adding disclaimers to the broadcasts so people coming in late or whenever they would know it was a story and fiction. They fixed the problem not the symptoms.
