Of course not, which is precisely why running Flash is ludicrously stupid.
Nobody is claiming that the "victims" of these other exploits are stupid -- just the ones who installed and used Flash (and probably had to deactivate noscript in the process).
And more to the point, any remotely reasonable person will RTFM (at least superficially) before using a tool to do something highly illegal. Not doing so is the very definition of stupid.
it's pedophiles, not tech experts or even users. I would guess a lot of them don't significantly use their computers, and only got someone to show them the whole tor thing, or watched a youtube video on it or something.
