It's still analogous to replacing the engine to save the trouble of changing the oil, though. And some of the things that cause people to reinstall Windows on their systems are like buying a new car because you ran out of gas.

Well if your registry is "gorked" you have bigger problems...in fact that pretty rare in my experience...
