What I'm curious to understand is how Iran and Iraq came to be pronounced differently in this guide (or otherwise), when they are both spelt almost the same way. The social phenomenon explanation, while I get it, seems too broad.

May be, but Iran is pronounced correctly in the guide (EE-RAHN, in section 'The Country'). Why mess up Iraq then. Strange.

Do you mind expanding on that a bit, such as what are the poorly sourced claims used as building blocks? When you talk about recreating the justice part, do you mean the discussion circles back to an already well-explored question?

Not in the context of enabling trusted binaries being used for updates, but to your original point about reverse engineering unencrypted firmware

Partially because they call their firmware upgrade process "secure Device Firmware Update (DFU) functionality" (lifted from their documentation). Obviously, an engineer needs to go see the source to see what is actually happening

Not my point though. Use case for over the air update is when one has no access to the device or its debug interfaces. So, the implementation must provide for a way to remotely handle entering programming mode, etc. IMO, the disclaimer sect
