Yeah, like the multiple times I had to ask people following the "simple debricking method" WHY they chose to ERASE ENTIRE MMC in fastboot, when the instructions just said to flash mmcblk0p2_ssh.img...

After all, a link or button that has "DO NOT PRESS!" on its label is sure to collect its fair share of presses anyway, so why shouldn't a "DO NOT ERASE YOUR MMC" attract similar attention?

And back in the day, our (university sponsored) computer hacking club had a sign on the wall that said "No system can be completely foolproof -- fools are so darned ingenious!".
