Oh yeah, learning and understanding is great, but I also think the world could really use more FUD in it. Trying to create or refute FUD is how we learn. You know, I had no idea that there was identifiable information all the way down in the TCP layer, or that Tor's anti-fingerprinting didn't cover it. How else would I ever have learned that if this misinformation hadn't been spread? Besides, spreading misinformation can be fun. The ways people respond can tell someone about how they think. Though if people believe them then they should keep making the misinformation more and more ridiculous until the people realize they weren't being genuine.
