Of course there will be times that getting stopped out is unavoidable, but I guess that has to be balanced against not having stops in there at all, which could ultimately prove extremely costly.

My point is that most people put them in obvious places, so simple for me to guess, and that just makes it easier for them to get whipped around, regardless of the MMs power. If a person is trading with a strong trend, they need not worry too much about getting stopped out by "manipulation" so much.

Unlike the listed exchanges the NASDAQ market does not support stop orders as a market facility. Stop orders for NASDAQ stocks are held by the broker. MMs do not see any stops (except possibly on their own order flow if the originating broker delegates stop order management). The reason that it's so easy for them and anyone else to engage in running stops is because people put them in all the obvious places.
