yes, but in the end it is more a problem of user-perception. "hej, if
security-experts say it is more secure, then ofcourse i will turn it
off - after all i don't care for netcraft-stats" (and don't know about
it either).
finally, if people turn it off because of security-reasons, one should
consider a compromise between "security" and "statistics" ... or not?
