what i meant is that clinically-controlled trials don't reflect people's
actual behaviour because they take them as individuals without a
community supporting them.

this is called methodological individualism is you want to give it a
search :)

in my experience, people getting together with some handy hackers can
learn how to use gpg in their email with no special difficulty, without
becoming experts but being able to send encrypted email after all.  i
don't say it's a magic process, but at least it's not assumed that most
people learn by themselves in an empty room.

that was the intention of linking kleiner's article.
