That would be the key, "inexperienced users".

where you have anything to worry about.
If you examine a run-only script in ResEdit, there is often plenty
of human-readable code spread through-out the binary characters. You
can usually pick out the variable names and literal string-sequences.
A run-only AppleScript offers no "real" protection for passwords, etc...,
(that was never the point of run-only, after all).
