You're missing the point.  Our (often non-technical) users demand this
feature.  Even our technical audience (see Siggy's parallel post for
example) perceives benefits from obfuscation, based on empirical tests.

So you can explain why, in theory and in practice, obfuscation doesn't
work.  But the user base will (stubbornly, if you like) refuse to
accept your logic.
