I apologize for being dense. Are you saying that informed people will advise against health? I think you meant something different but I’m too dense to understand.
1. there is a lot of knowledge
2. the ramifications of not knowing things in that field are fairly high.
3. is a common source of experts advising the public do things differently. Eat less, exercise more, etc.
Which I think is somewhat the case here with Privacy and Information Tech. It's a problem that affects the public to some degree of severity, but "they" seem largely unaware of it.
