On that note, why do people smear their fingers all over the optical
surface of discs?  Or scuff them about on the desk?

Discs are not as robust as some people think, and they come with
warnings on the labels to treat them with care.  Writable discs seem
even more susceptible to finger prints than pressed discs.  And you
can't always clean off what you do to them.  Leave muck on it long
enough, and it can chemically react.

If people abuse their media, they deserve to have problems.
