This all started when you said something to the effect that "packet oriented formats" were bad. When asked to clarify you switched the topic to how flexibility in cryptography was bad because it could lead to downgrade attacks. I pointed out that downgrade attacks were not really possible in a data at rest application and that the article you linked to was about data in flight applications.

That's it. That's the actual arguments to this point. Then you just said nope.

You are not claiming that logic and facts are irrelevant here, are you?



you switched the topic to how flexibility in cryptography

I never said that. You're replying to someone else.
