I did say the *average* website...
If their webadmins have put https instead of http, I'd bet it is
because of encryption capabilities, and if they wanted a certificate
from Verisign or elsewhere I am sure they could afford one. I
seriously doubt they are interested in https because of potential hoax
sites (not saying that they should not worry about hoaxes, though).
Did you also try it as just plain HTTP? You get redirected to HTTPS.
