Maybe you have something to hide too.

Alberto has nothing to hide. His work and contributions are fully open-source, and anyone can freely inspect the code, methods, and results. This transparency is a fundamental part of his approach, allowing anyone interested to understand, critique, and even improve upon his work.

His dedication to transparency, even in the face of frequent criticism, speaks volumes about his integrity. It’s not about hiding something but about pushing forward with reasonable ideas that anyone can engage with, test, and verify.

Not all ideas can be considered, especially if they lack a solid mathematical or technical basis. In complex fields like this one, rigorous testing and validation are key.

BSGS relies on extensive precomputation and memory, while Kangaroo relies on random hops without storing sets of points, they can't be combined directly. Mixing them would mean losing the efficiency of both methods, as each relies on distinct principles that don't translate into a hybrid approach.
