Gruber regularly scouts HN for feedbacks so let's hope he answers this one. He's been too much in a rush to defend Apple lately and this is a gaping flaw in his chain of reasonings. His "different but not worse [on average]" line makes no sense when (based on various pieces he link to from his blog) 1) it's very easy (as with other phones) to hit the spot accidentally and 2) the worst-case attenuation is significantly worse than those of other phones. You don't need a degree in statistics to see that something doesn't add up.
