In general, people being people, it is always safe to assume that some will use a thing for its best purpose and others for its worst possible purpose.

I also get the impression that as people age they place an increasing value on safety and comfort. Change is the antithesis to that.

Also good to remember that groups of people are not people, they think and act differently than any of the individuals that make them up.
