And you could have replied with this to elemenoP's post.

Maybe I was too subtle on this point. I was suggesting that you should figure out that you are doing the same thing that you are complaining that others are doing: people are complaining about a feature that they don't have to use and you are complaining about opinions that you don't have to read.

Will it be convenient enough to convince everybody to use it? Of course not. But it will be more convenient and more secure than than current methods.

You haven't expressed your reasons for disagreeing with me on this. You expressed your reasons for disagreeing with another poster who you thought was me.
As to holymadness' reasoning, which is that the people who chose not to use a passcode with previous iPhone generations must have done so because they didn't want to use a passcode every time, and this is different because they will only have to use the passcode after every reboot, anytime the phone wasn't unlocked for 48 hours, when using gloves, when the fingers are wet, when the fingerprint was misread 5 times as the scanner is designed to function. I disagree.
