Assuming my friends aren't related to each other, I would say there is a case as you never test the entire population as you can generally extrapolate from a relatively small sample size. Even if it were such a small sample, as I referred to it as, it "should" be 0 or 1 out of 6 instead of 3 out of 6. Naturally, its not very reliable, but I think it leads to the notion that this kind of stuff isn't all hot air.

EDIT: Accusing someone of "Its your fault, your computer security sucks!" is an accusation which cannot be disproven, so its a handy one to sling around.
