> or just following a checklist?

Well, OP didn't suggest a checklist (he did refer to the Boeing one as inspiration, so he might have thought about that).

And while they might be a hundred times more likely to follow a checklist, a hundred times (almost zero) is still (almost zero).

Let me re-iterate the question/problem:

> Random J. seeing a checklist: "ah, just following the steps. I can do this."

The question is: why would Random J. see the checklist? This is the crux that needs to be addressed. The content and existence of the list, while important, is a much easier problem to solve.




It's true that there are people not being aware of the information now and they'll be people not aware of it in the future. But I think[1] there's a large group of people who are aware that the information exists, but are just ignoring it as they deem that info too complex/time consuming to learn. Enabling better security practices for this group would be an overall net gain.

[1] Based on my past experiences, YMMV :-)
