the naive user - i.e. 97% of all users - will never learn anything about 
security; nor will they ever care.  They depend completely on sensible 
default settings.

It is good if there is a single line of defence (host security).  It is 
slightly better to have multiple lines (host security + inbound cpe packet 
filters / stateful firewalling).
