It is a tricky issue, but I can see a good argument for increasing the amount of traffic going through TOR, even if much of it was from users without proper OPSEC.
As with all security, it is an education issue; just as "Private Mode" warns users that they might be tracked by ISPs or other agents, "Super-private mode" would have to warn users that supplying identifying information would jeopardize their privacy.

I wonder what percentage of users understand that. How many read the fine print, grasp its meaning, and act on it?
It would be interesting if Mozilla has studied this security training in particular or if someone has studied security training in general. That is, test how many users read the information, retain it, understand it, and act on it? What works and what doesn't?
