If the API takes ownership, can't you just release the smart pointer, effectively forgetting about it and letting the new owner deal with it? Maybe I'm missing somethign.

That means it is no longer managed by a smart pointer and you need to understand the nature of the API. I understood the above comment to mean that you can just solve problems by calling "get" and moving on with your life.
