I am afraid that I mis-explained myself a few days earlier. Let me restate, if I may.
Every day, a person has others telling them multiple things, with conflicting priorities, and without any solutions. Likewise, they see problems every day, and they point these out to others. In the workplace, this is the constant grind. This is the rule, not the exception.
Given this situation, a hacker, doing someone a favor by telling them something that they need to know, is just like everyone else. Everyone is giving information all the time and constantly. The distinguishing factor is not whether you give someone information that they need to know, it's whether you help them to understand how that imformation impacts them, work out an action, and negociate a priority for that action. The person who does those things gets listened to and has their points acted upon.
A person who just tells people things will find that their information is pushed to the bottom of the list and not acted upon. Thus, the hacker's information often is often disregarded and ignored.
