So, you who criticize everything, what have you achieved?
It' anyone's right to criticize anything, from movies to food. But this isn't why we have junk movies and junk food. Otherwise we'd all be couch potatoes watching the Kardashians on repeat, in lack of anything better.
In your posts, you only refer to more computing power = more keys generated, but I don’t see anything we haven’t known for decades.
Because you didn't look.

Fermat’s Last Theorem...
Conjectures that were proven to be theorems 350 years later had a nice property attached to them: they also worked for the 350 years prior to them being proved. So this is the difference between a speculation that works and one that doesn't.
Without the pursuit of solving this “insignificant” problem for practical purposes over 300 years, technology would not be what it is today.
What do I mean by this? The beauty of math is that even when we fail, we make progress.
Sure. But all of these only make sense when it is under the umbrella of rational thinking.
Something that is proven to be irrational cannot be later proven to be rational. But a mad man will of course keep believing he is right, in his own rationality.
A true scientist is one who does not impose their beliefs on others as absolute truth, and an intelligent person knows this.
Beliefs != Facts
And I'm not a scientist, nor imposing MY facts. Facts are just facts. I'm on the very practical side of things. But I will never be able to add two numbers if a computer already tells me the result, would I? So it's not a matter of opinion if some code stinks, or if some algorithm fails to address the actual problem, as you do really seem to miss the point at its core.
