people in Tech will yak-shave choosing the "correct" cypher. Then get pwned by an implementation detail like a bug in enigmail.
1) Hacking, 2) opsec and 3) tradecraft are totally different skills. The most dangerous people (to themselves) are the ones who cover only one of 3. The more advanced among them _know_ they lack in the other areas, but think they can compensate going even deeper on whatever they already know.
