DanielLC’s talking about ordinary charitable people; the ones who’re arguing right now all over facebook about whether changing your picture to a cartoon character’s helps prevent child abuse.
I recomend you join my counter-campaign: change your profile picture to your favourite 18th century Probability Theorist to raise awareness of the conjunction fallacy. We’ve gone viral, with over 7 members from 4 countries.
I think we’d have even more members if we asked people to toss a coin, and if it lands heads then change your profile picture to your favourite 18th century Probability Theorist to raise awareness of the conjugation fallacy. (If it lands tails do nothing)
In that case, “no, because the NSPCC is a ridiculously dodgy organisation and a good teaching example of the Iron Law of Institutions.” (And that’s without even mentioning their perpetuation of the Satanic Ritual Abuse meme.) But that is, of course, an engineer’s answer to the philosophical problem being posed.

What’s the conjugation fallacy?
A misspelling, now in several statuses, of The Conjunction Fallacy.
Conjugation is not a fallacy, you fools! And now all is lost...
