It's less about harming yourself and more about harming your phone. This is your personal emergency lifeline device. It cannot go down. I know they do, but my point is that everything about the software experience should tend towards 100% uptime. This is key. It's more important than almost any other aspect of the device. It's way more important on mobile than it is on a desktop.
If your desktop locks up, you can hit reboot and make a tea, or go chat to your boss.
If your mobile locks up, you might stay buried in that avalanche longer than is healthy.
