By doing so, they are able to detect any and all discrepancies that show up in the fake copies.It's just the same here. The whole intent is to study how the OS operates and how things should be functioning, rather than trying to figure out every which way they could fault. So yes, it's quite like learning to be a driver developer. You have to figure out how it should happen, rather than how it wouldn't. Of course, I personally couldn't code to save my grandmother, but I at least am able to learn the concepts and mechanics of everything without trying to figure out how to actually write code to put it to use.</blockquote>
