The discussion here (regarding prefixes) reminded me of this incident.
In the past, there were verbalists and numericists in schools.
Verbalists = Those who constantly read books, memorize, and think about how to impress teachers.
Numericists = Those who constantly deal with numbers, try different combinations, and seek probability, evaluation, and changing the result.
Note: Numericists have cracked all encryption algorithms in the world.
"Encryption is fundamentally based on mathematics, not trust."
