 ok, that was the answer i was looking for.  if that's reasonable to
rely on that happening, then that's ok.

 is the more subtle case worth considering?   say... the app putting
up instructions to the user on how to change the permissions, and
making it look like part of the OS?  phishing attacks, basically.

 i'm not clutching at straws with this, i'm just being thorough.
