Boiling it down to the essentials, the Apple trolls insist that iOS is magical in that it can bind to privileged ports (somehow magically so). While that would be nice, my view is more pragmatic in that my understanding of iOS is that an SMB server can not bind to those ports. The beauty of this discussion, for the purpose of determining whether the Apple trolls have the capacity to admit when they're wrong and apologize... Is that it's a binary issue. a. Either the Apple trolls are correct b. Or, the Apple trolls are wrong Time will tell, but what do you *predict* the Apple trolls will do if they're found to be either right or wrong on this binary question of fact? Will they apologize? Or not?
