Sockets are just the pipe you push/pull things through. One of the features they bring to the table is that you get to (yes, I actually said that) design your own protocol for using them reliably or pick one of the already available protocols. FTP, HTTP, RCP, and telnet (and pretty much everything else in your local /etc/services file) are all sockets based protocols. Oh, and I think you could apply your statement to just about any data communications methodology and be correct.
