   Thank you Alan Baker for proving my point about your lack of comprehension!   
   a. Adults first comprehend basic facts   
   b. Then, adults form logical conclusions based on those facts   
      
   You did neither just now!   
   o I will explain so the ng list can comprehend what just happened.   
      
   FACTS:   
   1. Google stated clearly the 14 iOS FLAWs existed for two years.   
      (Apple does NOT dispute that fact.)   
      
   2. Google stated the FLAW affected almost every iOS device from 10 to 12.   
      (Apple does NOT dispute that fact.)   
      
   3. Google stated clearly the software essentially wasn't tested   
      (Apple mildly disputes that fact, saying they "care about privacy".)   
      
   Notice what ADULTS will notice based on those facts:   
   o Google never once said how long the web sites were in operation!   
     (Becuase that isn't what matters.)   
   o Google did accurately state how many phones were compromised   
     (Google clearly said it was in the "thousands" per day.)   
      
   Note that Apple doesn't (nay, can't) refute those facts above.   
   o So what does Apple do (they fool people like Alan Baker.)   
      
   The real question is why are people like Alan Baker so easily fooled?   
   o I don't know why.   
      
   I think it's because people like Alan Baker can't do two simple things:   
   a. They can't comprehend even the most basic of facts, and,   
   b. Hence, they can't form logical assessments of those basic facts.   
      
   The facts are clear, which Apple does NOT dispute:   
   o The flaws were in almost all iOS devices from iOS 10 to 12 for years!   
   o The flaws exist because Apple didn't do sufficient testing for years!   
      
   What Apple (admittedly brilliantly) said was as if Takita was saying:   
   o Yes our faulty airbags are in every car out there because we didn't test   
   o But - only thousands of people died per day - so it's really no big deal.   
      
   HINT: The facts are what matter - not Apple's self-serving spin on them!   
      
   Why are people like nospam & Alan Baker so easily swayed by Apple spin?   
   o I suspect they don't have the two things normal adults should have   
      
   a. The ability to comprehend basic facts, and,   
   b. The ability to form reasonable assessments of those basic facts.
