Matt Blaze said it best: ‘When I hear the if we can put a man on the moon we can do this, I’m hearing an analogy almost as if we are saying if we can put a man on the moon, well surely we can put a man on the Sun’.

That's a really good analogy for the encryption situation as it contains the sort of "fuzziness of definition" that loses the attention of 'the common folk'. We could say that we put a man on the sun, but by what measure a 'man' by the time they arrive, and upon what part of the fusion reaction do we land in order to define 'on'? Excellent, I say, into an echo chamber.
