Especially when there's a relatively narrow & inaccessible assembly line that produces them, & a vanishingly small set of people / organizations that can afford their services. Diversity in backgrounds, experiences, skills, & thought tends to lead to smarter & better performing teams (bit.ly/4aRgUbC) (bit.ly/3Xj0fe2). I'm sure our industry would also benefit in the same ways from a greater diversity of its participants. | |

That's true, but the way I look at it is that cryptographers/cryptographic engineers also don't know everything and make mistakes. There's too much to know and constantly new papers, which are usually 20+ pages long. The key to solving this problem is really collaboration, except people typically don't want or have the time to collaborate with amateurs, which puts them at a further disadvantage. | |
| Jun 6 at 4:12 | comment | added | aiootp | I'm always more supportive of this kind of pedagogical approach, which promotes empowerment & accessibility while still respects the authority that comes with experience & practiced expertise. I think the only fault with this answer is that it doesn't acknowledge the unknown unknowns, which are many, & will hinder the new learner's ability to make informed assessments of their own capacities. | |
