I wouldn't worry about people who don't use miles in the best manner.
Redeeming miles is a zero-sum game. Every person who finds out how best to maximize their miles is one less award seat on that long flight to LIH for the rest of us.
I strongly encourage everyone to tell their friends and co-workers to not hesitate burning miles for DFW-ABQ and BUR-SFO round trips.
Loose lips sink ships.
