Grant, In addition, whilst it may not be a forced collapsing of the entire iOS platform, it is never the less, a forced collapsing, or whatever word you wish to insert, meaning to push or force the software into doing something it either was not intended to do, or wishes to do at that time etc.
You are correct that this is a theory, I never stated it as fact, simply that pushing software to do something that it is not supposed to do is never a good idea and can have unexpected consequences. If this spring board feature stops working, is this also the area where currently active apps are held, i.e. linked to the App Switcher? or once an app is launched is it passed to the app switcher, which, hopefully is in dependant? if they are one in the same, and you have an app open with data in it, and you collapse the spring board, then surely this might lead to data instability?
