Bla bla bla bla...

How about saying something that will really contribute?

If there is no mathematics, there is no programming!

Since when pointing out obvious flaws is called disrespect?

Do you really want a mathematical proof that what I said made sense?
It is obvious that any patterns you can think of are a very minuscule part of the remaining "non-patterns". This is simple combinations formulas, the proof is immediate.

Does it make sense to run a program 1% slower while still checking 99.99% of the key space?

Answer: no, assuming that the key is found, the time required will be LONGER, simply because 1.0 is larger than 0.01. If this is something he refuses to understand, it's his problem, not mine.

It's a delusion to think that excluding some keys speeds up anything, it's a fallacy. It is not disrespect to have the truth shown in your face.

Anyway, it's in everyone else's benefit that we shouldn't even point out this flaws, correct? Let them run the slow program while we laugh.
