The point I was getting at is that the security concern is exaggerated.

That's pretty much the only reason I see for reintroducing the confirmation window. There are still people out there who click 8 billion times.

A point I've already discussed and dismissed. Not to mention that a confirmation window is not any kind of actual protection. It does not prevent somebody from clicking 'OK.' It does not tell them that the URL they're going to (especially if it's from tinyurl or bit.ly) is a shock site or is malicious, or whatever.
