The user only needs to be able to touch the "Secure Boot" setting, not the
"Frobnicate the XYZ unit" setting nobody understands the meaning of.

In our target userbase? Are you sure?
Oh, and the tax forms I have to fill out every so often have plenty of
cryptical things I'm supposed to fill in somehow, yet the government expects
