While this is certainly true and I can hardly say anything against it, 
my opinion is this:

If I tell someone: "Jump out of the window on 13th floor. This will cure 
your cold, once and for all", will he jump? And if he jumps, am I the 
one to be blamed?

We are all grown-up, at least I hope so. So it is anyones choice what 
advice he/she follows or where he/she needs to investigate a little bit 
further.

I call this common sense. And I expect anyone to have it (at least a 
minimum of it), as anyone can reasonably expect me to have it, just as well.

So come on, Leonard, your proverbial newbie that uses WD-40, Water and 
heat grease on top of the heatsink to achieve a better airflow is pure 
fiction.
