> A more accurate analogy would be that your money vanished from a public locker with combination 0-0-0.
And it's a pleasant world where every time you do that, you get robbed.
> Nobody complains about the shortage of address space provided by 256 bits. This guy was experimenting, and being lazy during his experiments, so at the very least he should have known what to expect after the first loss.
This is totally beside the point.
There's a social cost to constantly having to watch what you do. If you're robbed any time you're on the street, you'll have to spend time learning self defence and you'll have to buy appropriate tools such as locks. You'll also have to teach your friends about this, and you'll need friends. And your attitude to strangers will change.
