Convenience is the _enemy_.
Convenience has a cost. Pay it.
Integrity has a cost, pay it.
If there is to be centralization, use
economies of scale to detect and adapt to fraud rather try to prevent
it.
Very well stated. Evolved systems do precisely this (adapt and exploit
economies of scale and other features).
As individuals with "enlightened self interest" it would seem to be in
our interest to understand how these things work and work *with* them
rather than continue to try to brute-force *engineer* these things.
Engineer in the small things (local), evolve in the larger things (global)?
I agree these schemes to find a trustworthy agent are doomed to
failure. It just changes the target and the nature of the attack. As
we have seen, the NSA certainly has the means to correlate a few
devices.
Yes, like that.
