Try telling this to a noob who is:
a) convinced that only a nefarious low life has a use for encryption
b) afraid of and distrusts computers
c) convinced he/she is right and logic won't sway him/her.
While I do believe that there are a number of people in each of those
categories (or combinations thereof), I strongly suspect that the
largest category is:
d) those people who are completely unaware of crypo: unaware that they
might actually want it on occasion, and unaware that they don't have it.
It's not that they gave it a bit of thought and decided against it for
whatever reason - they never gave it even a moment of thought. The
only crypto they use is the crypto that is invisible to them (usually
https, which is pretty invisible).
