Can these tidbitsers prove that its harmful to do this, did someone measure the power draw of app flicking, vs non flicking? Are we going to die from cancer if we keep doing it? The entire article is all unsubstantiated nonsense, "Have faith in the allmighty Apple IOS engineer". It's not like anyone is wasting hours of their life flicking background apps to keep things organized. Going to need some proof before stopping the app flicking habit. If we shouldn't do it, then don't ever let us close or terminate apps. In the meantime, its a feature, its there, use it and have fun.
