The noble goal of this "ban all crypto"-move, seems to be that all
messages should be understandable and readabe to everyone. Or at
least that is what *I* _decipher_ *their* _messages_ are intended

Alas, to this day, even plain text english has not achieved this
worthy goal.
It is upto each recipient to ultimately decide what a message is,
and what it means.
