As an administrator, when I'm debugging a problem with a system, I tend to look at other users' processes a lot. Setting this to zero would force me to run more stuff as root... isn't it a better security process to run *less* stuff as root? Just the other day, I got email from another user pointing out a runaway process of mine which I would never have noticed. Perhaps you would assert that I should have noticed it, or that the system should have a monitoring system that noticed it and sent me email, or that I should never run programs that sometimes run away when unexpectedly disconnected from the terminal, or something, but the social aspect worked fine in this case.
