   If you know cars, and if you know engines, then what I'm doing is more akin   
   to "blueprinting" the engine than merely rebuilding it.   
      
   And, my constant tweaking of hundreds of settings a month is akin to using   
   a manual transmission instead of an automatic (where many people just take   
   the defaults handed to them for everything).   
      
   Since iOS has the engine bay welded shut, iOS users have no possibility of   
   blueprinting the engine, nor choosing which gear they'll be in. . All they   
   can do is point the thing.   
      
   Worse, they need a tow truck standing by with hundrds upon hundreds of   
   megabytes of bloatware just to change a tire, since, by their own   
   admission, iOS can't even do the *simplest* of things without that desktop   
   and Internet mainframe tow truck following them everywhere they go.
