A placebo that prevents 99% of unintentional or novice snooping is not a
placebo at all - it is a useful feature.

I would like to know what benefit you have by obstructing this "optional"

could be presented with a warning message before activating the feature.
Why are you so adament about hindering those that want this feature?
