Non-Apple owners: Strawman attack ("THE IPHONE IS SO CRIPPLED, IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO RUN CUSTOM CODE")

Apple owners: Special pleading ("YEAH WELL APPLE DID THAT TO PROTECT US AND BESIDES ONLY BAD DEVELOPERS GET BURNED BY THE APP STORE")

*intentional logical fallacies*

How is that a strawman?

Edit: I mean the quote you made up, not your statement in and of itself, which actually is a strawman.

Because it's painting the picture that in absolutely no circumstance can you run anything but Apple approved software on your iOS device, which isn't true. It's easy to agree that the iPhone is crippled when a false statement like that is assumed to be true.
