Re: JSH: Problem space, counting down on DMESE




So, let's say that having consumer devices write their own encryption
(an extremely old idea that you stumbled on 20 years late) becomes
common. That would mean you guessed right, well done.

How would that also make your incorrect mathematics suddenly correct?

Are you claiming that you would suddenly become world famous as the
'inventor' and therefore all you math would be beyond question?

Besides which, simply having the idea is a very far cry from knowing
how to produce a solution to the problem. Many ideas in physics and
math had been "discovered" before they appeared in print, yet it's the
guy who knows how to actually solve the problem and produce the
solution that gets the credit. There are many ideas that are "simple"
to discover, but take a real mathematician to solve.

So in JSH's mind he thinks he's a genius for discovering these
solutions, even though his mind is too feeble/incapable of actually
producing the solution.
