   That statement is only partially true.   
      
   For example, I can access system files in iOS without jailbreaking.   
   o But most people cannot.   
      
   It's not hard, mind you, but most people do not know how.   
      
   I can easily access system files on Android without rooting also.   
   o But most people cannot.

   Understood.   
      
   What you're saying is akin to saying that being alive or dead has its pros   
   and cons at some level of interpretation. I don't disagree.   
      
   My point is that being dead doesn't really have all that many pros. :)   
   o But I understand your point that there are pros and cons to being dead.   
      
   I'm an adult.   
   o That means nothing anyone says on this newsgroup is hard to comprehend.
