"Easy to lift" is completely irrelevant in every context, not that it's actually "easy to lift."

Have you any idea just how easy it is to replace these components? have you ever tackled this kind of work? i know you have not simply by your comments.
And I know you have not either. I've heard horror stories on removing chips like this, especially ones from Nokia that come underfilled and in PoP format, from people who do that sort of thing regularly as part of their job. Costly reworks of boards after pulling off the chips, destroying multiple devices trying to get one that can even be reworked.
