This is still case 1.
I actually agree with you that some people with bad security habits will never change their behavior, but do you really feel that someone using passwords in a notebook because that's what they're comfortable with is in the same class of behavior as someone addicted to nicotine?
Feel free to have the last word here. 1 on 1 HN threads more than 3 deep rarely result in productive conversation. Cheers
I usually avoid analogies of HN as you are often called out on the technicalities of them. And you are right that can often damage an argument.
However, I have argued that changing peoples behaviour, even when their current behaviour is bad for them, is often impossible despite all evidence, from the beginning.
