It is true that SOME people do, and I can give you an example here!

There is (and always will be) a percentage of your audience that are 
getting older, whose eyesight is failing, and who are either too vain or 
too lazy to wear glasses.  Viewers falling into this category generally 
require the largest screen monitor and lowest resolution settings 
possible.  What's more, they don't always have to be old to fall into this 
category!!

There is also the older category again - those whose eyesight has 
diminished to the extent that even with glasses they still require large 
monitors and low resolutions.  Try teaching computers to class in which the 
average age is 75 and you will understand EXACTLY what I'm talking about :-)
