"The fear that you spread is far more damaging than a registry cleaner that

Huh? In the first place, Phil is not 'spreading fear', he is advocating
safety. Secondly, would you call it a "burp" when someone's system becomes
seriously unstable through ill-advised registry 'cleaning'?

And last: How would you propose that a user 'reverse' a change made to the
registry - presuming that the user even knows what change to reverse - when
their system can no longer boot?

I believe it is irresponsible for you to scare the wits out of anyone
wanting
to clean up the registry. People learn by doing.
The fear that you spread is far more damaging than a registry cleaner that
burps because the deletions by the cleaner can be reversed.

Problem is that you don't have a list of what to search for. Hence, you
cannot clean your registry.

What you fail to recognize is that there doesn't seem to be any reliable
objective evidence that "useless" entries cause any problems. If you
believe
it does you some good, and it makes you happy, that's fine. But it's
irresponsible to tout registry cleaning if the basis for your
recommendation
is without an objective basis in fact.
