Yep, I know. What you are basically saying is that you need to turn off some settings and security mechanisms to bypass the integrity of the system. Which is precisely what most folks are doing on OS X - except they have to reboot their system, which I personally find insane. But given this, I don't see the point you are making.

Isn't this security through obfuscation precisely what Apple are doing right now?
