More than 99.9% of web users have never heard of javascript.

But then how could they want it? It wouldn't be like they want to get rid of it instead, they just wouldn't feel anything towards something they've never heard of.

I'd believe 90. 99.9 seems aggressive.

I think you massively overestimate how much the average user knows about computers

		The statement was 99.9%, so that's not talking about average users; it's talking about the top 1% or less of users. If 99.9% percent of users don't know what JS is, that means even a majority of professional software developers don't know what it is.

A lot of people haven't heard of pancreatic cancer either. Explain it to them and see if they approve.

edit: IE javascript was probably responsible for at least half a dozen times their system has been ruined, and they know what tracking is.
