It's also a classic example of "technology designed by geeks for geeks to
protect themselves against dangers that only geeks were worried about" (Phil
H-B).  Try explaining what it does to J.Random user, you'll initially get
blank looks and eventually bored looks if you persist (that's from real-world
experience).

Speaking not in my capacity as a co-moderator, I find discussion of issues
around security/crypto technology both interesting and useful.  In fact if we
had more discussion of this sort of thing we might end up with more
appropriate and useful crypto/security technology being deployed.
