A motivated stalker will dig in and research but that’s inevitable, but the other 99.999% losers will self-limit to whatever is available for the minimum effort.

This translates to harmless yelling at clouds, unless some cheeky troll does the homework for them.

I don't quite understand if you're deliberately ignoring my point of if you're that out of touch.

Perhaps you've forever lived in an academic/industrial bubble, but a significant part of the population and definitely the vast majoirity of those that would engage in taking a virtual confrontation to IRL, are borderline illiterate, have significant difficulty parsing simple manuals.
