Absolutely. I realize that it can sometime sound like I (we), who’ve really gotten the big picture, are just being cultish or pollyanna-ish. Sometimes I wonder myself, so poking and probing like this is a good thing.
There are big questions to probe, but often we find ourselves having to defuse “problems” based upon incorrect assumptions. I know that David Irvine and others had to walk me through a lot of that, and I still have a lot to learn.
BTW here is an old but very good post that addresses the levels of encryption and obfuscation on the network that helps see the devilish cleverness of it. All the encryption layers for SAFEnet. Some of the network design has changed a bit, but not in ways that detract from the basic truth of it.
