   The question in this thread is:   
   Q: Why do zealots fabricate inane excuses for Apple's documented behavior?   
   A: ?   
      
   We know they do.   
   The question is why they do that.   
      
   Given they did it, it forces us to respond to refute their inane excuses.   
      
   For example, the requested screenshots that Chris asks for which proves it   
   happened yesterday and today. Does he really need it for every day forward?

   First note that it doesn't just pop up once, and it doesn't accept the   
   refusal just once. There are many prompts. A video would show it.   
      
   Also note, only Apple 'bricks' the device (over time) if you refuse to   
   re-enter passwords for accounts that you never logged out of.   
        
      
   But the question here is why do the zealots feel the need to deny   
   everything they don't like about Apple using the first inane excuse that   
   they can think of?   
      
   For the zealots to claim it doesn't happen to them is even wrong, since it   
   happens to everyone on iOS but they just glibly enter the password when   
   asked.   
      
   Me? I am different than most iOS users in that I strive to understand how   
   the system works, so I don't enter the password when Apple asks me to do   
   so. And "everything works fine". For a while anyway.   
      
   Eventually Apple 'bricks' the device (i.e., Activation Lock), which no   
   other operating system does.   
      
   I think perhaps the reason the zealots try to deny how iOS works is maybe   
   they dislike that only Apple is this Draconian in how its ecosystem works.   
      
   But I don't know WHY the zealots fabricate inane excuses for Apple's   
   documented behavior?   
      
   Do you?
