But, if the content takes up less than one page, then they won't be able to
scroll anyway, right?

The only time the scroll bars even come into play is if your content exceeds
one page.  In that case, without scrollbars, all you'd end up doing is
preventing some users from seeing all of the content.

The suggestions posted so far seem to only matter if the content happens to
exceed one screen-full, so if you're ensuring the content only takes up less
than a screen-full, what's the point?
