I challenge your assumption that the average person knows how to spoof user agents.

  The average person is not using Opera :)

    I agree.. plus I'm using Opera as I type this.

      It could be worse. You might be using Dillo.

  Actually that's quite easy in Opera. There is a dropdown box to select different user agents called "Browser Identification".

    I understand that the HN audience finds it incredibly simple to do. My point being, go ask your family members who don't frequent HN (or sites like it) what a user-agent is.
