It is downright amazing how much information asymmetry is seen as a prerequisite to maintain law and order.

For instance, implementation details of devices being leaked are a surefire way of obviating any mitigatory measure employed to coerce cooperation out of an uninformed population.

The irony of this happening at a University, an Institution centered around equipping people with the tools they need to overcome information asymmetry, is not lost on me.



Really demonstrates why “security through obscurity” is no security at all.
