This.
I've done it before, it isn't something I want to play with. I think the fact that the majority seems to agree with this sentiment means putting it in is no issue. It's standard for multiplayer games to have "No Spies/GSpy only tech/GA/settle/etc" IIRC.
Hrm, it would be really helpful if someone would just explain the actual issue.
Also I'm not the kind of person who just goes with the majority if it doesn't make sense. It doesn't mean that I won't be thoroughly schooled at some point.

This is exactly why I would prefer not to have EPs to pfaff around with. In a newbs game, seeing demos/graphs is a massive advantage to learning.
