Agreed - this does seem to bring out the worst in people.
All too many seem to feel that a complete absence of technical understanding of the technologies involved, coupled with a skewed sense of their own statistical relevance ("I left my cellphone on once, and the plane didn't crash, so it must be OK") allows them to ignore, for their own convenience, a rule created by people with at least some level of understanding.
