Apart from the rudeness, it's the logic behind the statement that amazes me most. What kind of twisted mind would come up with an argument like this?

• People don't know what X is.
• Therefore, people shouldn't care about it.
• Therefore, we are justified in spreading X throughout the world.

Just imagine replacing "X" with "retrovirus" instead of "rootkit". Hey, we can stop all AIDS prevention campaigns!
