having to argue to someone that knowing how something encrypts its data doesn't ruin the encryption and dying

"well, assuming encryption is like a house key, and i give you the key to my house..."
"that's not how that works?"
"yes, of course. but,"
😐 k

@boots Wow, that's... incompetent.

If you can, tell them that knowing how a lock works doesn't give them your key, it just lets you know what a key probably looks like.

@boots sounds like that someone is confusing encryption with obfuscation 😶
