  Imagine: "Some information about your computer will be sent to <somewhere>.
We assure you that it contains no personal information."
  "Really? What information? Perhaps a list of the (pirate) programs I have
installed in my system? I'll just cancel and disable this feature."
  It's just most likely to raise suspicion than gratitude if the information
sent is kept secret.

  That's why the "Don't ask me this again" checkbox has been invented
