 Exactly, BOTH are attack vectors so it should be possible to read w/o
writing and vice-versa. Having said that, it's potentially more
harmful to read contacts than to write them. The later could be easily
fixed afterwards but the former could be big problem - think of a
program that sends all of your contacts to a web site.
