You can also drive 20 years without wearing a seat belt and never get fined or have an accident, but then when you do have one and go through the window head first you wish you had worn the seat belt. The same goes for making sure you have a backup and for closing out your apps and doing at least a reboot of your iPhone if you don't want to do a Reset Network Settings. But to each their own, it is what I do and I know for a fact that people on this list and others I know have had issues from an upgrade and after they did a Reset Network setting the problems disappeared. I guess the difference between my car example and the iPhone is that often doing this after the fact still helps whereas of course you can't put on the seat belt after you go through the window *smile*.
