So, correct me if I'm wrong:
bitcoin is an application with data
AND it's a program?
There's 2 parts to it.
If that is so, then in order to efficiently keep your wallet, wouldn't you have to copy the program onto the flash drive as well?
Otherwise, how are you going to use the data on the wallet.dat?
Are you going to have to redownload the wallet program every single time, on every new computer, you want to use the wallet? If so, that's a pain.
Another question - If I have my wallet.dat on a flash drive and I use another computer that has the wallet program loaded onto it - how do I get the wallet on that computer to recognize my flash drive's wallet.dat?
Wouldn't it be directed to it's own wallet.dat?
Again, this might be programming 101 to many of you, but to an average computer user, this is a mystery.
We need to break this information down into the simplest and easiest terms, so that everyone can understand bitcoin and other currencies, otherwise we'll be in a Linux situation, where it's just too damn difficult and time-consuming for most people to use and to trust.
As my best friend says, when I use my refrigerator, I don't need to be a refrigeration mechanic, I just plug it in, and it works.
