i have mine set up so it onld syncs my photos to the pc, but not the other way round. Photos are always copied to my pc and I can safely free up space on my phone

yes it does. Never disputed that. Doesn't change the fact that the average user does not care in the slightest about how it works, not that it does work.

only among tech people. Way to prove my point. The general population only cared about easy access to free movies, they did not, and still do not care about the underlying implementation that makes that possible. My dad downloads stuff occasionally, I assure you, he does not know what bittorrent does

that's because the tech people think p2p is what made bittorrent popular. It didn't. Free stuff being available on it is what did.

if you rip out an engene from a car, then you can operate it at its most efficient rpm all the time, instead of when you happen to cross the right rpm on the right gear. So an engine powering a generator can almost always be more efficient than in a car.

This is not taking the losses in the electrical system when using the generated power in a moter to make the car move. But in a lot of cases, you still come out ahead
