> 1. It's a charity tax; you have to convince people to incur the cost of Tor (i.e. CAPTCHAs everywhere) for activities that don't require Tor.
Some people will (and do) do it. You're right that you won't convince everyone to run Tor all the time, but you won't need to.
Also, mozilla have been floating ideas such as integrating Tor into firefox for use in a new kind of private browsing mode. This affects things considerably.
> 2. You can't neutralise a poison by diluting it.
Yes, you can. Both in the metaphorical as well as the direct sense. At some point the solution is too dilute for the poison to cause harm.
I use Tor all the time. I know of local web shops that have rejected the idea of blocking Tor because they looked at their logs and saw that they get actual sales through it - from people like me.
