Besides, by link()ing to a file you change it. And if you don't have the ability to write to it, you should _NOT_ be able to change a file. symlinks don't count, as they are just pointers to a file that may, or may not exist. Hard links become the file itself.
Incorrect. Being able to link to a file does not mean you can change it.
