I had an inkling with the "agree or disagree with OP" poll; but dismissed it.

I’m ecstatic that most of the votes are No. This means I am still (even 10 years hence) far ahead of most people. I assume most people haven’t quite yet grasped why HTML (static documents, a 100% immutable declarative language) was a special case that would not apply forever into the future. Humans are like that. They project the present into the future, without thinking about what made the present and what changed.

Remember I was telling everyone in 2013 that Tor was not anonymous because of timing analysis due to being a low latency network and Sybil attacks on the relay nodes by national security agencies. And everyone thought I was crazy. And now we see new research that says 81% of the users can be identified. Sigh.
