Obviously I don't know enough about this but hopefully you can see how I would be confused...

Yeah, my reference to "that partition" was ambiguous, but I was talking about the boot partition. Modifying that would keep it from booting. If you read into what Hashcode is suggesting, you'll notice that he's not touching that at all.

Correct, the only way to do custom boot.img's on a locked device is via kexec / 2nd-boot. And that's a bit complicated so it takes a while.
