Can you explain why the gurus on the Apple Support Communities forums

The System folder of the OS (where all of these are located) is
completely and cryptographically locked down. There is no way for anyone
to compromise anything installed by the OS. And that includes everything
in the Applications and Utilities folders installed with the OS.

BUT .....

On the other hand, the poster there called 'etresoft' SUPPORTS the use
of the software available here:-

Please advise.
