They really aren't confusing. The large majority use them properly (following the pamphlet provided to new homeowners) and there are relatively few incidents. People sometimes make it out to be worse than it really is because they are "new" to the concept and a lot of people have a fear of the unknown. Once they get used to them they see it really isn't a big deal.
