Sure, if your attackers will never try to crack any of your users' passwords...

A username could be anything, but root is always root. Disabling the root password means a cracker needs to take the additional step of identifying a valid user account to target. Not a particularly large step, perhaps, but a step nonetheless.

What view? Is there anything in my post that suggested I was trying to promote a particular conclusion, or that I'd even come to one? No.

By meaningful statistics, I mean those based on useful data including, but perhaps not limited to, the variables I mentioned. Stop being a presumptuous twat and address the content of what people say rather than your cynical interpretation of their motives.
