I know, that disabling broadcast of SSID is no security improvement. But
disabling SSID broadcasting helps to prevent for not-knowledged users and
leet kiddies which don't have any real clue. So it's a small improvement.

We don't need to discuss about that at all, I agree with you, but I think
you can see my point of view when living in a apartment building having
multiple WLANs.
