While I see, and to some extent agree with, your point, you could look at it another way. Sure there will be some users who are in the middle, knowledgeable enough to think you have to be online to use it (and maybe they are the biggest group, I've no idea), but there are also others who don't actually get that far in thinking. I told my Dad to switch from the FT app to the FT webapp when it came out a couple of months back, which he did - hee doesn't know it's a webapp, he doesn't care. As far as he is concerned, after setting it up, he clicks the FT logo, it gets the news from the internet, and he can read it on his device. Is it coming through a browser or a different piece of software? Who cares.
