Unquestionably, indubitably, beyond doubt, *yes*. You are assuming a level of computer literacy that is beyond 95% of the computing public. Remember, under 10% of the computing public knows how to use Ctrl-F to search through a document. [*] Speaking personally about Enigmail, I routinely get complaints about Enigmail being broken from people who don't have GnuPG installed, complaints about Enigmail being too hard to uninstall from people who have never installed Enigmail (they thought that just by downloading the .XPI the file was installed automatically), and so forth. All of us on the Enigmail user-help team have these stories. I'll eat my own hat if the GnuPG devs don't have their own. Users aren't stupid, not by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the worst offenders have been obviously intelligent people who have been extremely irate about Enigmail, on the grounds that "I'm a freaking *physician* and I can't understand this, how do you expect regular users to?!" To them, all I can say is -- it's not about innate intelligence: it's about whether you possess the skill of computer literacy. We live in an immensely technological society, and very few people are computer literate.
