From reading a few of Anthony Rutkowski's other screeds against end-to-end encryption I got the impression he might be a shill for some middlebox vendor. Did some digging and turns out he is an executive at Yaana which is a company that does exactly the kind of work that TLS 1.3 is trying to frustrate (credit to HN user Animats [1]).
>"Yaana is a leading global provider of a wide range of intelligent compliance solutions including lawful interception, accurate data retention, big-data search & disclosure, advanced security and application specific analytics."
That he thinks his unhinged writing style might be persuasive to anyone is baffling to me.
