As modern development focuses more and more on security, while users are less and less technically informed about security in general, most of what non-technically adept users read on the Web is a vast tangled ego fertilized vine garden of fallacy.

Keep It Simple Stupid is evolving more and more toward Keep It Secret Stupid for the everyday home computer user. The frenetic pace of development these days, and the huge amount of fallacious opinion that is generated by it, casts such a veil of obscurity over the Linux development world that ordinary users cannot even selectively support specific development endeavors because they cannot grasp what it is is that they need/want/trust for their own daily computer use.
