In this case, re-flash really isn't a problem, I can see that.
I don't disagree that much. But the damage is not widespread. It is not like we will delete millions of e-mails for tousands of people, or blow up a nuclear reactor or something even worse. The damage is confined to our little toy, and the risk of damaging it beoynd repair seems almost non-existent.

Software can be re-installed. It takes a couple of ours at most. This is worst case scenario. Bricking beyond repair seems more of a purely theoretical result. I think this is different for other phones, because they are not meant to be fiddled with in the way we are doing.

But this is my opinion, I may be wrong.
