So to me the answer there might be to address the complacense which is the real problem and not remove obscurity ...

The idea of revealing all to improve paranoia rather sounds like the idea of attaching a sharp spike to your steering wheel to encourage safe driving :P

That idea might not actually be all that far-fetched. IIRC there have been a couple studies suggesting that some safety features on roads (e.g. safety rails, lights, etc.) might actually cause an increase in the number of car crashes because drivers become complacent and less paranoid about accidentally driving off a cliff.
