Actually, I'm doing the opposite. I'm starting with a theorem and arguing informally from there. And yes, I know it's informal. I'm starting with the math and then arguing as an engineer -- it doesn't make sense do go the way you're suggesting when there are other paths that are known to be worth doing. Oh, and we know that the NSA is doing.

I don't see that it is nonsense to argue that if I were an evil genius, I'd go here for these reasons and then note that that is actually the direction that we know the NSA is going.

I'm saying that the math and the facts on the ground point thataway.
