While I agree in principle, I think your "ratio" of knowledgeable to
unknowledgeable is awfully optimistic. Based on my experiences over the
years, I think a more accurate proportion would be something along the
lines of: For every user who is sufficiently knowledgeable to safely
use a registry cleaner there are 100 or more who are not. This isn't to
say that most people aren't capable of learning, but just that most
simply can't or won't be bothered.
