Sometimes, people in technology believe that we can solve problems by getting people to pay attention. This comes up in security, anti-virus efforts, anti-phish efforts, monitoring and alert handling, warning messages emitted by programs, warning messages emitted by compilers and interpreters, and many other specific contexts.
We are basically always wrong.
