It should be discussed as long as its new or interesting to someone so people can form their own opinion of a potentially important security issue. Your statement is suspiciously close to trying force a consensus opinion that there is nothing to see here. While I give you the benefit of the doubt, this type of steering of online discussion that benefits those that would like to weaken internet security. It might help linking to the previous discussion as well.



Given that I summarized the pretty-simple point from the previous conversation, if you really think that's wrong you should say why. The Internet has this core problem that people don't learn from discussions and then keep saying things that are clearly, obviously, and even trivially false, giving emotional weight to ideas that actively harm the understanding of others. I mean: look at yourself... in addition to not responding to the specific factual detail I laid out, you are refusing to even take thirty seconds to find the previous discussion yourself... this is work you should have done before ever coming here to post something on this subject... it is the basic, core due diligence that I would argue is not just a courtesy but a responsibility for those who join online discourse :/. This "you may have said something factual, but damn it I like being angry at people for no reason, so I'm going to ignore what you said and pull the 'you are trying to steer the conversation' card" is ridiculous... facts should steer conversations :(.
