Yup, most of public doesn't understand the return/value of FF miles. I had a hard time explaining that buying a ticket if under $200 rather than cashing in 25K miles is the better to one of my aunt. She thought she was saving $200 and my arguement didn't make any sense. But she learned the lesson later when she had to fly in short notice...
