You're not being very reasonable; a more accurate way to put it would be to ask you if you have <App> installed on your phone, what good is it for you, and when (if) you've ever used it.

And then getting defensive about removing it if you're told by an expert you've contacting yourself that <App> is (part of) the cause of your woes.

Not exactly the same scenario as you posited.



I think the premise is if you can't name it explicitly, there is a good chance you don't actually need it.


If people insist it's important but can't say why I'd assume it's something they feel ashamed talking about. It didn't show porn did it?


Or its something they might not remember...


Well in that context I'm pretty good at that. I clean out apps regularly, although it doesn't result in much as ... I don't really have "many" installed that I don't use / don't use that may.
