    That's because you don't realize that, by saying that you "really 
don't care about multitasking", you are also unknowingly implicitly 
saying that you "really don't care about multithreading".

    This, in turn, means that you are unknowingly implicitly saying that 
you "really don't care about apps (aka games) that are more powerful, 
more responsive, more complex but less complicated, easier for 
programmers to design and debug while involving less work, and thus of 
higher quality while faster to market."

    People who "really don't care about multitasking" should "really care 
about educating themselves about multitasking."
