This is a conclusion you might reach if you're not familiar with the terminology the MIT researcher used. Here's an analogy - suppose a professor of engineering is looking at a new car from a promising startup, and discovers that the car uses banana peels as brake pads. (this is about as irresponsible and naive as rolling your own crypto.) Prof: I've noticed that you're using a non-standard brakepad material, which functions very poorly for stopping the motion of the car. You should fix this. Startup: That's fine, these peels are organic and eco friendly, and they're safe because I modelled them in the same shape and size as normal brake pads.
