   The pre-Galilean Pope decreed that the sun revolves around the earth.   
      
   There is nothing wrong with you thinking that the sun revolves around the   
   earth as long as it works for you, just as you seeming to be saying that   
   the infamous walled garden doesn't hinder your efforts with a tablet or   
   phone isn't wrong - as long as it works for you.   
      
   But the fact you said it means you don't actually do anything with that   
   tablet or phone that Apple hasn't scripted for you because the walled   
   garden very much is debilitating if you did.   
      
   It's like someone who thinks the earth revolves around the moon isn't   
   actually ever going to get a spaceship to the moon thinking that way.   
      
   Because the number of rather useful things that everyone else can do but   
   which the walled garden prevents you from doing is absolutely astounding.
