That's a nice theory. Also in theory, RSA and DNA is not patentable, US citizens can never be denied their constitutional rights, Scott Adams Games is still in business, and sysadmins have the right to verify the security of their systems. If US citizens work on crypto, regardless of where they compile it, they make that crypto become under the control of the US. That is still true even today. ] ON HUMILITY: to err is human.
