Why? Because I don't prefer some overly complicated and totally impractical method of "securing" my bitcoin wallets? Is this how you're going to spread bitcoin acceptance? Offering round about solutions to simple problems with much more secure and practical alternatives? Yes yes, I know how to make encrypted partitions, run virtual machines, etc but you're tricking yourself into a false sense of security and spreading bad information if you think these approaches offer extra protection.

Stop. The only newb here is you and anyone who propagates that tinfoil hat nonsense. God forbid an actual newb reads that post and thinks that's the right way to secure his bitcoins.
