An incorrect precise number is worse than no number at all: if
you assure user that it takes 129,052,722,140 iterations to
guess password "password", or 2,322,220,814,264,750,000 to
guess "qwerty123456", it only misleads. The real attackers start
guessing not from "a", but in the most-probable-first order.
What is this order depends on the traits of the mark: the first
password to try, can as well be "password", "qwerty123456", or
"salasana".
