there's a certain plausibility to the idea that some folks were trained to hover over a link and see where it goes as part of anti-phishing training, but that a fraction of them may hover over the link, see product.zip anyway, and just click it because they don't have the context to understand why that would be a terrible link.


They can't understand that product.zip is a terrible link, but they can understand that perfectlysafewebsite.com/product.zip is a terrible link???
