Many of the cases where users have claimed this have been nothing to do with Secure Boot - instead, they've been trying to boot old versions of Linux with poor UEFI support. I haven't yet seen a single credible report of a user being unable to disable Secure Boot on a system.

On an x86-64 system, that is.

As I've just defended a statement of the obvious on the grounds that not all readers will be intimitely familiar with these matters, I'll similarly point out that mjg59 would be the prototypical example of someone intimitely familiar with these matters — which may be why he wasn't impressed at what might come across as trying to teach one's grandmother to suck eggs.
